New RAM along with a new harddrive.

Bought some new ram to replace the crappy discount 20$ two one gig strips I bought from Microcenter. I guess discount RAM is still exposed to the same problem of just random luck of getting a bad batch of chips. I ordered some Corsair RAM tonight along with a new 160gig IDE 133 harddrive to add to my old desktop whose main drive went out. I think I’m going to put Windows Server 2008 on the old desktop and set it as a completely dedicated IIS server. Apparently with Server 08 you can configure it similar to what you would a Linux PC where select components can be installed or not installed based on the particular machines uses. At this point I think a good dedicated IIS box would be worth the investment because clearly the new machine is not working to fantastically for reliability, but I’ll give IIS 7 some credit. It’s not as horrible to configure as was/is IIS 6.0, but that’s a whole other story.
