Thanks to - Brett Lymn Jon Hudson Joe Fletcher Tim Chipman Christophe Dupre Francois Dion Greg Whynott Kevin Counts In addition to the number of PCI slots - They basically pointed out that the 240 has the Sparc IIIi w/ only 1MB cache vs the 480 having the Sparc III w/ 8 MB cache. This should not be a big thing for a Samba/Xinet/NFS file server, as opposed to it being used for a database server. One also pointed out that on the 240 the 4 gig ports ride off of two 33 MHz PCI busses vs on the 480 there is one on a 33MHz and 1 on the 66MHz. I have seen some performance issues in this area on our 480. Thanks all, Roy _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Feb 24 12:49:39 2004
