Why did you add a 2nd NIC? I have the same machine, should probably upgrade my RAM someday.

I was wondering what Keys you meant ha! I thought you meant CD Keys but you mean door keys. Did you get a set? I am away this weekend but if you need one I could get one cut and post you one start of next week. Are they really all the same though? ...

Edit! You are about an hour away from me just realised :-p

2nd nic for router VM, one is wan (internet) other is Lan

Oh right, thought it might be for dual gigabit LAN. I'm running unRAID on mine

I did get some, but just lost them somehow! Pretty sure they are the same! If you could d that tthat would be brilliant!
Of course, I will compensate you
Where are you?

That's great, but you could just run unraid as VM and then do a bunch more with it as well. You see the storage VM there, that is my nas with raw access to 3 disks it serves up - but then I also have my router and my linux shell running 24/7 and then bunch of play/test boxes for different things.

If just running unraid - then the 2gb it came with it prob more than enough. Now what I have read is it really can go to 16GB, so thinking about doing that - would allow for more ram to each vm and still all running 24/7 etc..

Sounds like Dell keys then you might be able to find them on ebay? Or try searching for the number that's etched into them if someone gives you the number.

What's ESXi performance like running on the N40L (I have one delivered at home for me to setup this weekend!).

Was going to attempt to either hackintosh it with Snow Leopard, or run ESXi on it and run a newer build. I have 8GB of RAM on order (was supposed to have been delivered yesterday ), but if it supports 16GB then I may well do that.

Check budman's previous posts, he's got loads of posts and threads about it, I remember him saying it's pretty good.
You can get the mac osx enabler patch for ESXi too and run a mac VM not on apple base hardware.

Just wondered if upgrading the RAM would make extracting, urm, rar files faster
