<DIV>We are setting up a three repeater system that will link all repeaters as
we choose. As an ECOMM repeater system we will be able to selectively disconnect
so that users may locally deal with their emergencies. Not a problem. Be we are
wanting others to connect to our hub for nets or even chit-chat when the world
is safe LOL. We are currently using a Dell 2.66GHz Celeron w/1GB of RAM. I was
told that this is overkill. As Scooby would say, “Haruh?” Since I work for a
company that throws old PC servers out I have my choice of many AMD’s at 2GHz
and up. But I have a favored server with dual AMD 275’s and 8GB of RAM. This is
a FAST PC!!! What’s wrong with using it? Is a wimpy Celeron a better choice for
a hub server? Should I just add RAM and a SSD drive? I’m OK with that but we
really want others to link to us. My boss is letting me put the server in the
data center so I have unlimited bandwidth. Our repeaters will all have
RTCM’s.</DIV>
