It's the fastest machine I've got that'll run VMS and Apache/PHP/MySQL
though, until the University I got it from retires some DS10s in the next
year or so :)

Nothing's happened yet anyway 'cos I can't find big enough disks to install
apart from a Compaq UltraSCSI 4 gb job that I'm sure I retired from the
existing webserver 'cos it was getting noisy and I'd just got some spanky
18gb jobs.....the 4gb drive needs a cable and a wide/narrow converter before
I can install it.

I could cluster it with my MV3100 but part of the exercise is to reduce the
power consumption in the computer room - something I know you don't have a
problem with :D

Cheers
