Does-it mean that my box is not good enough to handle 4 spans? It's a Dell PowerEdge R200 32bits with a dual core Intel Xeon E3110 3GHz CPU. What kind of hardware would you recommend to run the 4 spans? If this is the cause of my issue, I'd prefer to get a more powerfull server than a new card as it is the least expensive option... Thank you! Best Regards, Vallimamod Abdullah .
