hello all, had the bright idea of using older used components for my home server (i do want to build one, but not at an expensive pricetag) and had a couple questions...
1) will an old school amd 2100+ cpu work? i know its only at 1.76ghz or something, and has a TINY cache. but will it work? the 1.8ghz sempron they use in the hp version doenst seem to be too much better...
2) i will have a gig of ddr 400 running at ddr266...ouch. is that ok as long as its reliable?
3) this puppy runs hot due to 180nm tech...i mean it was hot at idle! 54c!! i gotta find a cheap wc kit, or use the old one i have for it.
4) do you think it is ok and good enough to use? or just spend the 350 bucks for new technology and know that my files arent going to be gone tomorrow!?!?!?!?!
