Load is the key!!! I have seen plenty of systems that work fine with one or 2 hits and they just can't handle a load of users, this has been proven time and time again. Maybe you don't do enough to take it to task. Additionally a xeon will out perform a pentium of higher clock speed any day and you are going to pay for it, just like the G4 chip will out perform a pentium.Thank God Microsoft had the sense to use the opensource unix code for its tcp stack or it would have been where apple was with OS9. I like the Mac, I like unix, I also use windows, but I don't go cheap with my servers or routers.Robert Minor Director of Internet Services ------------------------------------------------------------ Cybermill Communications http://www.cybermill.com http://www.merchantmaker.comProviding Ecommerce and interactive website development and hosting services on Macintosh, Windows NT, Unix, and AS/400.All your websites are belong to us! ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
