[Assimilator1]

,I wonder how many other teams are still crunching?

BTW I've got 13hrs left for my main machine..........

 

[The Magicman]

Bottom line of this desaster:
It's a good idea to set the queue depth to 14 days...

 

[Polo]

Thanks Magicman !

Just because of stuff like this, I keep my work proxy holding 150,000 and my home proxy holding 10,000. That's only about a 4-5 day supply for the computers that hit me, but it's been enough so far.

I have been keeping the cache at a lower level as this was just a test to start with. After this major outage I will be increasing the cache considerably. This outage has shone that setiQ is a valuable tool and I would suggest all to either set one up themselves or use setidriver to keep a local small cache and connect to the 'team' Q.

I think this is an excellent excuse fo me to do some upgrades
I always have to talk myself into that--this did it for me
Dual p3's@1gig and a couple of 30gig HD's are sounding like a good upgrade right about now

... Why do almost all ppl need to shot at sparrows with anti aircraft missiles?

MY "Server/Router" has only one two limitations:
1. Upstram bandwith - I do only have 128K upstram, 256KBit in Octobre or so
2. RAM - It does onl have 256MB and right now 421 MB are allocated. Fortunatly memory is VERY cheap in the moment.

The rest of the "Server" is sub standard with a tendency to be rediculus.

Mobo is MicroATX S370 i815 board from AOpen with onboard LAN.
I've added an old S3 4MB AGP card to get 25% more memory bandwith.
there are 2 more 100MBit NICs and a 11MBit Wireless NIC in the system.
The hrddisk is a 6GB notebook harddisk with an adaptor to the standard 40wire IDE connector.
The CPU is 450MHz celery.

It serves me as an MS exchange server, Web server, SetiQ server, network router, Web Proxy, web cam server .....
And the funnyest thing is: it works OK in the moment and will wor even better after the upgrade to 512MB RAM.
No fancy CPU or highend HDD required.

just my 2 cents

 

[Orange Kid]

I realise my thoughs of the upgrade are over kill, but what the heck
I am currently using a k6-2-350 with 128meg ram and a 15 gig hd.
Upstream is limited to 300kb/sec and d/l are around 1.5mb/sec.
yes, this is all working fine and will probably continue to work in the future, but i can dream can't i
With prices at what they are a the moment, it would make sense to max out an upgrade so it can handle things well into the future.
This is not something i am going to do this afternoon, but down the road a bit.
Just think of the WU's it will pump out on the side

a nickle back at ya

 

[The Magicman]

BTW:
Would it make senst if I would open a public SQ server with my 128KBit upstream limit?
Anyone intrested using it (after dthe desaster)?

Magicman, IMHO the answer to your question:
"Why do almost all ppl need to shot at sparrows with anti aircraft missiles?"
is:
Why, to see the little puff of pink vapor when you hit the sucker of course!
Seriously, with hardware prices what they are upgrading to 'More Power' seems much easier.

Orange Kid: Do you have a dual mobo now, or do you have one in mind? I am looking and I have to say the quad Xeon boards are tempting me. Man, that would really be some kind of powerbox.
In Magicman's terms I guess it would be an atomic bomb

Anyway, thanks Magicman and Orange Kid for helping me to keep my 10/day through this. I appreciate you guys!

 

[Sukhoi]

But Orange Kid, don't you have a 10 user limit on your version of Windows? If so, you may never need more power for a SETIQ server than you currently have.

 

[The Magicman]

Lets guess... OrangeKid is running NT workstation or Win2K Pro?

 

[Sukhoi]

Yes, I believe he has Win2K Pro.
