server status

[Jay West]

Ok, I've had it with the current server problems.

Doc Shipley was kind enough to offer a Dell server with 640mb ram and 
celeron 600mhz processor. Unfortunately I believe that by the time I pay for 
shipping and upgrading the memory (the Dell uses ECC Registered memory 
only)... it would be about the same price as just buying a new mainboard and 
cpu for the existing server (I'm donating the gig of ram myself). Especially 
given the ongoing problems with that machine I'd rather have something brand 
new anyways. I'm sick and tired of the drive problem and it's locking up 
more and more frequently.

I just bought a p4 and intel mainboard for the server. IF I get it installed 
and the new raid controller has a problem with it, I can return it.

And to all who have been patiently waiting for me to respond to emails... 
I've had about 4 hours of sleep in the past 3 days due to a datacenter 
migration. The telco's and such have screwed up one thing after another and 
made it a very painful move. I finally got decent sleep last night and 
should be catching up on emails over the next few days.

Regards,

Jay
