[dba-Tech] System Upgrade

Hmm, I can see that point of view, but the hard drive is only 4 months old,
so that wouldn't be a problem, I just want my current system to be faster
:-)

Although this might be the excuse I've been looking for to build my NT
server with my old kit... Good thinking Batman! :-)

Hi Jon

That's one of the reasons why we always recommend to leave the old as
is. How much does a case and cd-drive cost? You would by a new
harddrive anyway (no fun having a hi-speed board and a veteran drive).

This allows you to built the new, get it running including all fine
tuning while having the old as backup and later a spare for some other
use - like give away to a student or some charity.
