First (semi) major network of 2004
OK. Im in the middle of my first Semi major network upgrade of 2004. This envolves me getting my Athlon 1.3Gz system up and running with windows 2000 server or 2k3 server. I did get it running but with 128mb ram, it was quite slow and did not do a lot. So, this is the upgrade (and downgrade!). I took a 512mb DDR 2100 DIMM out of my workstation (the down grade) and put it into the server (the upgrade). Im buying a 256mb DDR 2100 DIMM tomorrow and that goes into my workstation. In a few weeks i get a second one, and the 512mb thats in the server goes into my workstation, where it should be! and the 2 256mb DIMMs are in the server. If i want a memory upgrade for my workstation i have to get ECC memory, which is about 2x as expenvice as normal stuff. Im thinking of getting 4 512mb DDR 2100 ECC DIMMs but its going to cost 500EUR+! Thats more then the board and 2 chips cost me in the first place. I also have a space PC133 128mb (NON DRR) DIMM sitting here which will go into the Linux server to bring that up to 384 Mb ram some time soon. It will be a while thoguh…
