The only limitations I'm aware of are disk accessing well, i'd love to hand my friend several real life number examples... and i'm sure there are lots of people who would also love to know how different people have set up their news servers and what kind of disk i/o they manage to get... hunch i have is that when i go to news setup, it'll be a machine with about 10-12 2gig drives and adaptec 3940UW, maybe if i really want to do what i'd think would be fast i'd go with 3940UW and 2940UW (this one for the system), or even 2 3940UWs... and in the news server section, about 5 2gig drives per channel. ccded to the edge. =) my hunch tells me i'd get over 7 articles per second with it, but since i cant afford the setup testing, does anyone run anything nearly equal to that? >Gary mickey
