Hi, I have spent the last week or so making a list of all the bits I need to make a fast and reliable server or hosting oracle, oracle e-business and act as a web server for my own testing. List of bits below | \ / I am only 80% sure that when I put all the bits together it will work and wondered if any members might like to comment? Cheers Monkeynutter Specification for new Oracle E-Business and Web Application Server Operating System Centos or Redhat Processor Intel Core i7 860 Motherboard DP55KG RAM Memory CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M4A1600C9 Hard Drive 2 * Intel® X25-M Mainstream SATA Solid-State Drive Video Card nVIDIA GeForce 9500GT Screen FS 22" HP P1230 Diamondtron Flatscreen Professional CRT Monitor Case Antec Sonata Elite Case Sound Card M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound Card DVD read/writer Optiarc/Sony/NEC AD-7241S-0B 24x Internal DVD±R/RW/RAM DL Lightscribe Writer SATA Black (OEM) Fan Cooler Master Intel Core i5 compatible Hyper TX3 Socket 775/1156/AMD 130W 92mm "heatpipe direct contact" CPU Cooler RR-910-HTX3-GP Power supply Coolmax M-500B 500W Eps Power Supply with 5 Sata Connectors ATX12V & EPS12V
Wow I think you might just have yourself a very nice set of compatible bits there. The board, cpu, and memory match up and that's the biggest wild card so I'd say start building.
Hi Exfoliate, Thanks for the thumbs up, I suddenly realised that this was a lot of money to spend only to find I really am clueless, will let you know how it performs. I wont be using it for gaming but was fed up with waiting for my pc to respond or rebooting when it decided to have a short break. Now I am going to keep my old pc for a while just to shame it. Cheers Monkeynutter
You dont need a sound card AT ALL, if you will be building a server, onboard is fine and more then enough. I think you should get more ram but lower speed.
