What is the Slowest server that you have still in production?

[fUzZ bUnNy]

I am just curious to see what legacy machines are out there.

Currently, the slowest server I have in production is a PII 300, 384 RAM, 4 GB HD, and it runs linux/apache

Number 2 would be a 500 Mhz, 256 RAM, 80 GB HD, Windows XP box that operates as a print server/ file share for our office at work (i got lazy and didn't want to setup up cups)

So what else is out there?

we have an early 386 that runs linux. It provides failover modem access to some specific services that we provide customers. Its pretty bare, I dont recall the specs but I know its hardly anything at all. Its been running for some 5 years.

cant remember the spec... we had an nt file/print/database server which took over 20 minutes to boot!... it now lives in the bin!

We've got a dual Pentium Pro in the environment somewhere at school, if the schmuks at IT are to be believed.

I think I've got you all beat. One of my stores runs a server for the phones that was made in the early 70's IIRC. I think it's a IBM 975/CBX or something. It's bigger than your average upright freezer.

The filesharing server I run at my house is a PIII 600 / 384MB.

my smoothie is a celly 500MHz w/ 512 megs of ram

We've got a legacy DOS box with a P66 in it (if it's even that powerful). We still have two clients using it to dial-in and transmit data through it and they won't change software because they're too cheap.

That box is going to be tragically struck by lightning after year-end.

I have a Pentium 3 500mhz with 320mb of PC100 running as a File server. It's running w2k.

A tragedy indeed

My slowest server I have in production is a Dual Pentium III 550Mhz machine with 768Mb of ram. Works perfect for serving out a few websites for some friends and co-workers.

pull the plug - tell them you can't support them anymore

Until recently, I had a P100 socket 5. I had an Evergreen Tech brand AMD K6-400 in it. I also had it maxed out on RAM. 128 MB EDO. It was a print server, Gateway and file server. It lived in a closet off my livingroom on a UPS.

lol....1337?

Slowest 'server' in my house is a P3 500mhz/256mb with IPCop. Next is a P4 1.7ghz/512mb servering web, ftp, and anything else I need.

Slowest production box at work for windows is a single Intel 1.7ghz (Xeon?) with 2gb of ram. IIRC it only serves windows updates. Next slowest would be a 486 we use as a gateway between the TCP/IP network and the token ring for the mainframe. I want to replace it so bad, it's pretty taxed. (Mainframe is obviously the oldest thing we have, probably not the slowest though)

In my old job we still had a 20 year old IBM mainframe in production... It was probably the most exensive thing we had (hardware maintainance is not exactly cheap anymore...). I can't even begin to count the amount of projects started to try to finally get rid of it, but none of them fully worked out. I also removed atleast 10 dual pentium pro machines during last year.

In my current job the company is only 5 years old, so nothing antique yet.

Cellery 400 is my work horse, dishes out files too with a ata100 raid controller and two 300gb hdds, needs to be replaced iwth something faster, but i have no $$

 

[FeuerFrei]

A 486DX/2 66Mhz with 64Mb EDO RAM... For a little project of DNS server. Now under my desk with 5-6 other sub-200Mhz computers

 

[Oroka Sempai]

old HP celeron 400mhz, my GFs mom got a new computer when the PSU of the HP died, and I got it. Been running it as HTTP/FTP server for about 2 years now. Just got a P3 600mhz that I am going to set-up as a server.

 

[schnikies79]

The server in my sig is the slowest running, it does ftp, web, torrent downloading and whatever misc tasks i need it for. I have a p3 550 /w 384mb ram that I have no idea what to do with. I have everything running on a wrt54gl so no need for a smoothwall. who knows.
