Wow. 4 drives I think will raise the money for it. I was thinking of it this
way. If he wants to keep it cheap, then he will put 2 drives. Then using a
drive cloning tool like Acronis or ghost, we make an image of the installed
windows with clean ISA install with no settings. Keeping images on a safe
place makes it so easy to recover even on a crappy IDE drive till you get
your hands on a new drive and all you have to do is to recover the setting
from your exported file. Budget is sort of limited for hardware up to 1500
Do you have any idea about cache algorithm I asked? If we put 2 gigs of ram,
will that make it enough to choose a higher size?
Thank you for time

And what happens if a Drive fails?
If you are going to use SATA drives, hardware mirror the drives and then
create 4 partitions: C (OS and ISA) D (Data and logs) E (CACHE) and P (Page
file).
With ISA, that will be plenty performance enough. It is not like a SQL or
Exchange server where you want the separate partitions on separate spindles.
