true the specs are crap,
i only need the specs to run 1-2 programs.
they have to be in windows envoirment. dvd decriptor & dvd shrink. in server 2k3 or 2000, nt might work.but i,m not sure.
money,s tight now & cant get newer pcs w better
specs, 1 of my custom newer pcs crapped out on me cpu died i think.
it,s not the mombo or psu ram is fine too , shoulda stuck with am2 athalon x4.
what i need it for is a multi dvd decripting system. & all i have is theese older systems , plenty of dvdrom drives & a rouiter.
likning 8 systems together to a client to decrypt 6000 dvds 2-4 each unit.
unless you can think of a cheaper way to do this?
"what i need it for is a multi dvd decripting system."
NFW. You caould barely sustain the transfer rate on one drive, let alone more than one.

You are going to be stuck to one at a time. The systems don't even support SATA so your bottleneck is going to be the ATA-33 (ATA-66 if you're lucky IDE interface.
If you sold all 8 clunkers for $100.00 USD each (not liklely) you might have enough to build 1 system that could do 4 at a time. Maybe.
One of the threads on the subject. (This one is on burning more than decrypting)
All I can say beyond that is "try it", but I'm advising you in advance not to be surprised if you can't. IMHO, you have too many I/O bottlenecks (besides the obvious one at the CPU)
