I right now am running a Athlon Classic 550 Mhz (512K Cache).......
I have been hosting bulletin boards for various ppl and friends, and right now I have over 500,000 individual messages. My server is getting sluggish and unbearable.
Right now my configuration is........
Athlon 550
Gigabyte GA7VX mobo
512 PC-133 SDR
20 Gig WD 7200RPM HDD
(the rest is just generic crap)
I recently purchased an Athlon 1.4Ghz for real real cheap and all the goodies to go with it.
My question is.........
1. Will e-smith just work if I plug the existing hdd into the new machine (I think it might not work, but I could be wrong)
2. How well does the backup to desktop in the e-smith manager work? Will it completely copy over my mySQL tables and everything I had/have in the computer?
3. If the e-smith-manager backup to desktop doesn't work.......how can I go about upgrading my machine?
TIA!
