Should I try to get more memory for it (it is a Dell > 9150 machine)? or could it run as is? iirc the Intel D820 isn't 64bit capable, so it would be unreasonable to run 7.0/amd64 on it ;) ZFS likes amd64 and it likes RAM. If you want it to do more than just be a ZFS box (like web/mail/uucp ;) I'd suggest at least 1GB RAM, and ideally swap the processor for something with EMT64. Cheers Tom
