Adding more RAM in my situation wouldn't help much. Haven't tested simply putting the 2 disks in a RAID0 to see if it's any better or worse performance wise (I might just do that though).I do see a healthy boost going from RAID1 to no RAID/split paging disk config though. -Matt ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin Follow ThinList on Twitter http://twitter.com/thinlist Thin List discussion is now available in blog format at: http://thinmaillist.blogspot.com Thinlist MOBILE Feed http://thinlist.net/mobile ************************************************
