Help configuring G4/500 as a local fileserver
#1
I'm adding another workstation to my LAN, and the locals here have convinced me to stay away from a NAS and turn my old G4/500 into a fileserver.

1. Should I consider a Gigabit Ethernet PCI card for this machine? It will be serving up files up to 150 MB. I have a GigE switch already...

2. Would it help to get a SATA PCI card to upgrade the drives inside this server? I'd like the flexibility of being able to move these drives to my G5 should the need arise...

or should I just leave it and go with additional IDE/ATA drives?

This machine will be serving files up to 150 MB, and there will usually be 2-3 other workstations accessing files at the same time.

TIA,

J
