Hi Poindexter,

 On Friday May 05 2023, Poindexter Fortran said to Vorlon:

An atom, would be too slow... A higer i3, would have been ok, but when there
are customers standing in line, you want the response from the software to
be as fast as posable. The server is allready a mod range xeon, with dual
cpu's and 8cores per cpu...running sas drives...
