Thanks for that, this would not be an issue, it'll be installed on a dual Xeon 2.4GHz with 2GB RDIMM server.

Im running it here at the moment. Only issue is that it is a little bit
heavy on the resources (cpu) on occasions. If you are installing on a

Initially we had it running on a p3 500 and it was a sorry sight indeed.

cheers
