-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I''m looking for a small pc without fan, and I found one (http://www.visionsystems.de/produkte/276.html). It''s a Geode 300MHz cpu, and I want to use it as bridge for my pc''s which are currently connected direct to a 100Mbit lan. It should work as firewall (state full for ftp to work), dhcp for my notebook (and friends) and it should decide to which gateway a paket should go, so I don''t need to set anything up on the clients. And it should be a bridge so I can be still a full part in the lan. My questions is now, can this cpu handle that? May some of you have a that slow cpu runing. or we''re can I find benchmarks? Do you know any other fanless pc? I only found this one. - -- Regards, Robert - ---------------- Robert Penz robert.penz AT outertech.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9xaeF8tTsQqJDUBMRAsfnAKCNw6Sd7OpoTdAi8v5GaFZWQLXHcwCZAR+P bWNRHPtZJSP13hTDhfcXg6Q=ImX1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

The 2U rack-mounting unit has six independent single-cpu servers (it will be able to scale dual Crusoe processors shortly), dual redundant power supplies and IO blades all in one package. The FC206i will rely upon a 20Gb EIDE ATA-100 hard drive for permanent storage, and come equipped with 256Mb of onboard DDR SDRAM. One expansion DIMM slot will enable a maximum up 756Mb memory per CPU. Each of the six CPU bays contains a completely independent TM5600 Crusoe based server, with the CPU and system board up front, and the hard drive in rear. -- Michael T.
