Thanks that what I was wanting to know. I looked at the IBM docs but could not find anything that said yes or no.
It's not that there is a bottleneck. The box is just something I've been fiddling around with at home as a file server. I was just wondering if it could support something faster is all.
I guess though the next step up would be one of their e-servers?
Depends...if you tend to want to add the latest and greatest peripherals, think IntelliStation (server internals, without the ServerProven limitations). If you want absolutely bulletproof, then, yes, eServer xSeries is your friend.
I was referring to all things PCI that you can attach - modems, Wi-Fi, IEEE1394 devices, video capture cards, etc. Also, the video cards on the IntelliStations are higher performance than the servers (duh, it's a server) xSeries servers rock, but are only tested and supported with devices indicated on the IBM ServerProven Compatibility web page (
), which may seem limiting if you use the server as your workstation for other cool stuff. Depending on your intent, one may be a better choice than the other.
