3 updates in one day - all in the same morning!
In a previous update I was bemoaning the lack of speed from my FreeNAS setup and how the only solution to my issue looked to be increasing my processing power.
So I found a motherboard on ebay with a very similar layout to the SuperMicro 370SSR (dual LAN side-by-side, etc) along with a CPU, cooler and RAM
So I now have the following all for around £20:
Tyan Tomcat i845GV
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz (SL6PF)
512Mb DDR PC2700 RAM
Akasa 1U S478 Cooler
After Xmas I shall upgrade the NAS with this new setup and then re-test!
