Got the new webserver which I plan on actually being the new DB server..
It's a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 mobo with an intel 2600K cpu.
Big problem though as I tried my trusty CentOS 5.6 install disk it does not recognize the SATA drives.
Has a bunch of ports on the Intel Z68 driver and two on a Marvell 88SE9172 chip and neither are recognized. And I can't find a driver for either....
Any experience? Could try Gentoo again. I'm actually downloading a Fedora 15 iso right now to see if that supports it at all. Even if I find a Marvell driver it wouldn't be enough to support the DB server..
It's actually got SATA 3 connectors and if I could get hold of a couple of SATA 3 120Gb SSD drives and get the db server installed on it, it would be quite a bit faster again than the current one..
It'll be faster anyway even with the current SATA 2 SSD's I have, given the older one is a core i7-920 a stock speeds, I've already bumped this one up to 4Ghz without it breaking a sweat... just thinking about the disk transfers I do between live and calc databases...
But I need to get a linux distro that has the drivers or standalone drivers first... :(
