We are about to commit to buying 5 for nationwide news/cache servers and I would just like to double check in case our choice is not good. The hardware is a quad Pentium motherboard (obviously with only one Pentium initially) with dual PCI channels and dual-fast wide Adaptec controllers. I am told the same motherboard is used in some of the top-end HP and Compaq servers(?). An interesting extra is the DMI (Detop Management Interface) suport. In particular, I have my eye on the CPU monitor that can reboot the machine if the monitor doesn't receive a signal from a process after a certain interval (assuming the machine has locked up). Has anyone implemted something like this? Any feedback much appreciated. Thanks. -Russell
