The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by USC_Mktng in Apple Operating Systems, Snow Leopard (OS 10.6), Apple Hardware, Apple Networking
What I would like to do is benchmark a G5 tower to see where the bottleneck is so I can toubleshoot a throughput problem. (Bad NIC card, bade SATA cable, etc).We will be moving an internal 1 TB SATA drive from one of our workstations to that tower and turning it into a file server and acting as the main file repository.
We have an older G5 Powermac Tower (Dual 1.8 GHZ G5, 4GB Ram) running OS 10.56.. We would like this dedicated server to run just OSX without the need to purchase OS X server as we don't need the additional tools that come with the pricetag. We just need Time Machine for versioned backup and spotlight.
At one point this G5 Tower was running OSX 10.5 (not sure which version) and had a lot of throughput issues when reading or writing especially from the network.
Also any suggestions on what upgrades can be done to this machine to improve its overall performance as a file server.
Thanks
