What can you do with an Pentium??

[LinusIsSmart]

I have an Dell Dimension 3100 

                Pentium 4 HT 3.00ghz

                

I want to use it as a small office setup do you think I should put Windows Server 2003 on there?

 

Is it worth it????

not worth it, waste of power, server 2003 is a security nightmare, 

 

you can get a much better system for not much more.

what exactly are you doing on this server again?

 

core 2 quad is much better.

[LinusIsSmart]

Yeah, I think you are right.

Throw in a Xeon and it would be faster and cheaper than a core 2 quad if the motherboard supports it

How do you define "many"? If you are talking about 3-4 PCs, a quad core is fine. If you are talking 80, this won't work.

[LinusIsSmart]

yes around 3-4 pc's

so its a nas?

 

what do you mean by go onto different users?

[LinusIsSmart]

Yes. Still learning about servers. So I can log onto a Rajieth (for example) on one computer and log on again on another as Rajieth.

what os are these others systems?

 

you probably shouldn't do it like this. Why not jsut remote into the indivual systems?

 

FOr a nas, get something like a synology box.

[LinusIsSmart]
