    Anyone have any thoughts?  Btw, the server ended up being a Quad 3.2 Xeon.

    Thanks!

    Well 4 heads are better than 2 aren't they? 

     

    Just a quick off the top of my head look at your configuration makes me itch to do something different with the drive array.  I'm reluctant to implement anything on Raid 0 if it's a production system where I might be forced to do a reinstall the OS in the middle of the night.  Assuming you're working with 6 disks, I'd be more inclined to split this into 3 Raid 1's or one Raid 1, one Raid 5, and one hot spare.

    That's really the first question to answer before you start installing.  Trust me, it's a lot better to do this on the front end than trying to change it after it's built.  Just my thoughts for what they're worth. 

    My hovercraft is full of eels.
