Kenney ) Subject: What type of computer to get? Help. Message-ID: <1996Sep10.171113.13584@galileo.cc.rochester.edu> Sender: news@galileo.cc.rochester.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: uhura.cc.rochester.edu Organization: University of Rochester - Rochester, New York Date: Tue, 10 Sep 96 17:11:13 GMT Lines: 14 Does anyone have any recommendations on what is the best architecture to put FreeBSD on?, Pentium Pro 200, Dual Pentium 166? This computer would be a server for roughly 800 users, with an average of 10-15 logged on at any time, running a variety of programs from mail, and IRC, to compiling. I plan on putting 196Megs of memory + 3.2 GB EIDE Drive (+ a SCSI card (any suggestions) for laster upgrading) But I need to know which would serve best the Pentium Pro 200 or a Dual P166. Thanks, Jeffrey Kenney (jsk@cif.rochester.edu) Please cc resplonses to my email address if you can.
