I have:
PII 350 with 256mb of ram upgradeable to 1 gig.
PIII 667 with 256mb of ram upgradeable to 512mb.
1. I need one computer to run a low traffic webserver with win xp pro, apache, mysql, and php.
2. The other a dedicated file server for videos and downloads.
I heard that for a file server ram is the most important so using the PII350 for the file server would be the best route as its upgradeable to 1 gig, and running the PIII 667 as the webserver as its needs the cpu power and 512 ram would be plenty.
The PII 350 is ATA 33 while the PIII 667 is ATA 66. However, I do have a PCI ATA adapter which goes up to ATA 133. I am still thinking the PII 350 with lots of ram is the best for the file server and the PIII 667 is best for the webserver.
Thanks for you comments/suggestions.
