resopalrabotnick Posted January 4, 2005 CID Share Posted January 4, 2005 well, did the deed. did the deed good. took my old dell optiplex gx110, thats a 128 meg 128mb p3 with intel 810e onboard graphics. thing wasn't really worth spending a bunch of loot on, so i popped over to the local costco, snagged me a 7200rpm maxtor 250gig drive with included ata133/sata150 pci card, and presto. besides now having ornery amounts of space on the sucker, congratulations, you just became my networks fileserver..., i gained about 20 to 30 percent of felt performance. thing is just crisper. faster swapping etc. at least compared o the old quantum fireball 6 gig it had. just wanted to share a simple single item upgrade at low cost with good results. comments welcome. flames to devnull.

VanBuren Posted January 4, 2005 CID Share Posted January 4, 2005 sounds like a good deal resopalrabotnick I currently run a webserver on my pc, but i was thinking or running a standalone pc instead. I have a old AMD K6 333 Mhz and 48 MB of RAM and 4 GB HD. If i change HD to a 40 GB 7200 rpm and add some RAM i think it will be fine. I will see how much RAM thats fit on mobo, i figure i need atleast 128 MB to run XP and webserver. good thing about these slow pc, its very silent and dont generate much heat VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted January 4, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2005 actually silence is an issue, since the hdd led on the case couldn't care less if there's activity on the new controller, and as far as i could tell it doesnt have leads for it, although i could do the unthinkable and actually take a look at the .doc's to check. in any case, the drive is too damnably quiet to monitor it's activity aurally.
