Wayne, No reason not to use your preferred server over the Celeron. I would pay attention more to things like dual power supplies, mirrored RAM etc. The things that keep a server running day in and day out. I'm sure you don't want to explain to the boss as to why you need to fix "your" server. 73, Steve N4IRS On 4/2/2015 12:00 PM, app_rpt-users-request@ohnosec.org wrote:

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.
