Todays computers I believe have SSD's and at least 4gb as a       bare-minimum RAM configuration, 8gb being pretty much commonplace.              On my somewhat older EXSI servers they still use SAS drives but have 64gb RAM       each and happily zip along very nicely. An SSD upgrade will likely only        benefit the one that runs Exchange and Fidonet here as those two are the most       disk-intensive systems,              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
