I am looking to upgrade the CPU in this machine. I am going to get two of the the same code. What is the best CPU I can put in this server?
All hardware firmware, bios and updates are current. I want to put the fastest CPU that is compatible for this Dell NX642 motherboard. Also, I am looking to upgrade the memory. Can anyone recommend any memory configurations that work well for this system.
This system is also capable of Dual GB teamed ethernet via broadcom netxtreme ii 5708 gigabit ethernet nic. Is it worth setting this up? Right now the previous IT company that is managing this network left the second port unplugged. I would assume that they wanted to make the best from their set-up. Is it beneficial to have the teaming set-up? How much faster is it?
I have the KU482 8 port SAS/Sata Backplane
I would like to know what my Hard Drive Max storage/device/connections? I know I have 8 connectors.
