were all the computer identical ? it would be best if they were identical.
So far I got two P4 2.4 - 1GB RAM up and running.
I think I will have two more ready from the spare parts.
Also, the current setup is using about 2.1Amp of electricity, so I'm moving over to laptops. Trying to borrow some of my friends laptop from his office.
Also, would it better to do a full install to the hard drive if I have less RAM.
Another thought is what if the server is the least powerful, would it make a difference if the worker bees are much better.
Example:
Server: P2 - 700MHZ with 512MB
Client1 : Quad 2.4 Ghz 8GB RAM
Client2: Quad 2.4 Ghz 4GB RAM
Client3: P4 2.4 - 1GB RAM
Client4: P4 2.4 - 1GB RAM
