I agree with the AMD Athlon....in performance benchmarks, it is beating the
heck out of Intel's pentium 3 !!
Just also want to mention this: hard disk type is critical to overall
TS2000i performance...get this:
had a Seagate Medalist 8 gig, model 8641 non-UDMA drive which was about 18
months old.
I replaced it with a brand new Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10.2 gig drive with
UDMA AND a 2 megabyte buffer.
All backstudy performance times have improved about 50% since the
replacement....
that is one wickedly fast drive....highly recommended. No doubt that buffer
helps immensely.
