D-Link DFE -L530TX 10/100 network card I suddenly think back to the days of: "It is primarily going to be serving static pages, some audio and maybe some video. The components I am considering are 486-DX4/100 with 32MB ram and 1.6GB IDE...." (philosophical question) Have things really changed that much? I do believe that a T1 from 3 years ago had the same capacity as a T1 today... :) (Sorry, but that's my opinion about how people routinely over-power web servers, just because people worry about the numbers too much..) --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
