Hi guys, I've got a (legitimate) copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2 desktops, they're very low spec but its only for domestic use, I plan to store media on there such as music and films, but I also want it aas our house's backup solution.
So these are my builds, I know there're weak, but I'll upgrade the better one in time
So my first build is a single core AMD @ 1.8GHz with 1.75GB RAM
My second build is a dual core Intel @ 2GHz with only 1.25GB RAM
I do also have 3rd build with a RAID controller, however it will have the Intel CPU and RAM.
I have 2 x 300GB SATA HDDs @ 10,000rpm, which I could RAID into mirrored as i like to be safe with data, but they are brand new so I can see them during on me yet haha.
So which build would you suggest? I don't think I'll be setting up a RAID arry any time soon so I guess we can count that out for now.
Cheers guys
