I have a system that has run for many years on local intranets and was being served by windows 2k and XP machines which were essentially 32bit set-ups. Moving to W7 the replacement machines were inevitably configured 64bit and so the obvious action was to add 64 bit server code, but the day in day out reliability disappeared. Did try a 32bit stack on the 64bit windows, but are now running 32bit windows as well. Of cause we were told that we should be using server versions of windows for this, but these machines manage perhaps 1% active time and the only reason not to use 'virtual' servers on some other hardware is to maintain sub second responses when doing things like printing a ticket or receipt. ( How many of you have experienced the 30 second delay waiting for windows to process a network print request after hitting the finish link on a session. Very annoying for staff and customers when there is a queue at the reception desk! ) Where we have moved to a Linux based stack things have been even more responsive, back to the 24/7 stability that W2k and NT4 provided and even smaller percentages on the active working times :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
