    Best Hard Drive Configuartion for a Development Workstation?

    Thanks! As for the mobo and CPU combo, I have an A64 2800+ that is overclocked to 2.2GHz on a Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR motherboard. It is a first-gen Socket 754 system - I just could not wait to try A64!!! At the time I bought it was the best I could afford. I know the newer socket-939 system...

    Best Hard Drive Configuartion for a Development Workstation?

    Tannin Of all the places I have inquired around, you have been the most helpful and I do thank you. Right now, I am maxed on RAM (2GB is the limit of my motherboard). Upping to an A64 3800+ X2 would be a great move, but spendy as it would mean at least another $625 for mobo, CPU, and PSU. Now...

    Believe me, I would love to get one!!! :o :o :o There is one problem, I am not paid for *any* of my coding work and I do not have $625.00 minimum to spring for the new CPU, motherboard, and PSu that would be required. My work is all volunteer for the Mozilla group. I code as a hobby on...

    Best Hard Drive Configuartion for a Development Workstation?

    I apprciate your advice, but the physical hardware upgrades you mentioned are not possible both from physical limitations (motherboards supports 2GB of RAM max) and cost (A64 X2s). I couls swing a 3rd HDD to help spread the load around and just might try that.
