Proxy Hardware - was Re: Kernel 2.2.16 and Megaraid



yes i know.

anyway i think i solved the problem :-)
In the LH4000 (or 3000) you can choose if you want raid or simple scsi.
all i need to do is to transfer it to a simple scsi.
I do not need the raid controller anyway.

Now i got a new Q :-)

What is better, 1 CPU of 733 and 2 GIGA RAM or 2 733 CPU's and 1 GIGA RAM
for a proxy server.
I think that it is better to have more RAM then CPU's.
but in every configuration i saw in squid site they had there 2 cpu's.

Am i right ?
