I’m currently using Naslite+ on:
Mobo - Giga-Byte GA-686LX3
Cpu - P2 333mhz
Ram - 96mb
Hdds – 3x 250gb
and an old 10/100 nic I had

My only problem has been that it has DMA/33
I believe that’s what’s slowing it down.

My question is ether -
1 - Get a new mobo that has a faster interface? (66, 100, or 133?)
If so does anyone have a suggestion (I’m looking for cheap)
Found this http://www.cybersprinter.com/item_descr ... rodid=1856 + $10-15 cpu

or

2 - Wait till 2.xx and use a controller card? (I have one so it wouldn’t cost me anything)
If 2.xx will support one

I recently upgraded to a MSI KM4M-V an AMD XP2400+ processor and I had a spare stick of pc2100 256mb ram floating around about £75 from ebuyer uk, my NASlite now runs the disks at UDMA100, I don't think NASlite Vers 1.* supports UDMA133 anyway, I'm hoping vers 2.0 will support SATA that should give 150mbps access which will help with movie streaming. But the upgrade to the board and processor game my NASbox a fair boost in performance, settled the instability the old hardware was giving me and prepared it for taking advantage of the vers 2.0 features 8)
