At the moment, I have a home "server" which is running on a HP ML110 (i think) with a dual core Pentium CPU and 4GB RAM. Its been running flawlessly for a freebie, only time its had to be restarted is for Windows updates.
However I have been given a Core 2 Quad CPU and ASUS motherboard. Different socket CPU's unfortunately.
So do I stick with the HP, or use the Core 2 Quad and board ?
Upgrade of the CPU is obviously a no-brainer, but would I be able to rely on the overall system to be as stable as the HP considering the HP is "server grade" hardware and designed for 24x7 running.
Currently running Plex, HmailServer but want to fire up XAMPP and possibly a Minecraft server once I obtain some more RAM.
