I am thinking about purchasing the little cheap V100 offered on the Sun
Store to use as a test WWW server here at work. If anyone has one of
these, I'd like to ask a few questions. Since most of the time this server
will get very little traffic, I'm not to worried about the
traffic/performance, but on occasion, I plan on using it as the
"live" server when upgrading the primary server. Since the upgrades will
come at off-peak times, I only expect somewhere between 15-20 concurrent
users tops.
1) Has anyone been successful in adding after market RAM into this
machine. The one I'm looking at (The educational promo for $995) comes
with 512 Mb and that may be enough, but if I wanted to add more from Sun
it will cost something like $600 (list) for another 512 Mb. If so, what
did you get?
2) Does this machine have any PCI expansion slots (even 1)? I can't see
any mention of one, on Sun's site or the online documentation, so I'm
guessing not. However, I have an external Sun DDS-3 SCSI tape drive that
I'd like to attach if possible.
3) Has anyone successfully used after market IDE hard drives in this
machine. If so, does just about any standard drive work or is there
something special that I would need to look for?
As is customary, I will summarize to the list.
