What server would you want?

Post by smack323 »

I received a grant from school and will receive a server of my choice but I am not sure what one to take. The only specs given are

1. Compaq DL360 Dual 1 GHZ Processors, 2 GB RAM, 2 SCSI drives

2. Northwestern Pentium 4 Processor, 2 GB RAM, 2 IDE drives

I dont even know the size of the hard drives. I think the compaq is running p3 processors.
I am leaning to the Northwestern system.

I'd go with the "Nortwestern" as it's at least a P4
The Compaq is built around a P3 (SCSI is pointless it it only supports 2x HDD's)

both are prity old though, so don't expect much from them
