Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 08:04:55 +0900 Topicbox-Message-UUID: d1fdfc24-eaca-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 I saw some very charming PCs today, those are named as KCF-S868 or KCF-S767 barebone system, the former of which is for Pen 4 and the latter for AMD (~1.1GHz). The chipset is VIA/P4M266 and SIS 740, respectively. The most atrractive point to me is their box size, very small and massive, 215(W)x310(D)x200(H). They can have a HDD, aCD/DVD-ROM and a floppy with integrated nic chip. They have also one PCI and AGP(P4 version) slots. I'd like to use one of them for our file server with Tekram scsi card and external scsi drives. Does Pen 4 can run file server? Another one, is there any advantage to use dual Pentium system for file server? Kenji
