My server finaly quitted to work :-(, but I had planed to upgrade at the end of the year anyway. As the VMX hardware is supposed to be out "soon" I actually wanted to wait for it to hit the shelvs first. Looks like I can not do this. so I've a question for the informed. What hardware should I get now, and still be able to upgrade to VMX when it's available? If possible only by getting a new CPU. I was planing for either a Pentium D and Athlon X2 (prefered), the low end server market. My server used to run 8 DomUs (it was a Pentium 4, 2.4GHz /w HT) but the new one should be able to handle about 16. -- Goetz Bock (c) 2005 as blacknet.de - Munich - Germany /"\ IT Consultant Creative Commons secure mobile Linux everNETting \ / X ASCII Ribbon Campaign against HTML email & microsoft attachments / \
