I am setting up a small Not For Profit with one of their old Gateway P3-550
machines as a Peer Server. It has a 10Gb HD now, which will be relegated to
OS duties, and a new 80Gb sATA drive going in, along with a PCI sATA card. I
have also upgraded it to 384Mb RAM and WInXP Pro sp2. I happen to have
another 10Gb HD laying around, and it occured to me that I could put it in
as the Primary on IDE-2, along with the DVD-RW, and put nothing but the swap
file there.
My question is, does this offer any real performance benifit? The machine
will be used as a File & Print Server for an office of 5.
Thanks for any insight.
