> Greetings,in

\n> As I've noted all of the discussion about upgrading the processor
\n

\n>
\n> ...what IS the best upgrade to this server?
\n>
\n> Here are some of the possibilities:
\n>
\n> -Upgrade Hard Disks
\n> -Upgrade Memory
\n> -Upgrade Linux Version
\n> -Upgrade CPU

\n> HARD DISKS - It would appear on the surface that upgrading the hard

\n> While a larger hard disk can be installed in the second slot, I'm

\n> Do you get an OS which automatically has an extra 40GB of room for
\n> data, or does it format it as a 20GB drive, wasting the other disk
\n> space?
\n>
\n> MEMORY - I've seen people talking about loading a Gigabyte of

\n>
\n> LINUX VERSION - If it ain't broke, why "fix" it?
\n>
\n> PROCESSOR - Okay, I hear it runs "faster." But if I'm using it as
\n

\n> Just some thoughts as I explore my new Magnia!
