I'm running CentOS Linux on it, and was thinking this would be a great place to get help, but I can see that I'm wrong, since the hardware that I chose to use (and can afford in my country) is clearly not the right choice of hardware to use. And although you're right in saying that a hardware problem is off-topic, I need a way to prove to the suppliers that it is in fact a problem with the hardware. Since everything works fine when you switch it on, yet when I start-up the XEN virtual machines, the load goed exsesively high. I have reinstalled the OS, but since I use yum to update to the latest version of everything, it could very well be a OS / kernel / software bug as well. I don't know, and I was hoping to get some insight on it from this list. My other choice is to go and purchase Windows & install it, to see what happens. Then, if the same problem persists I can say it's hardware, if not, then it's software related. Sorry for sounding so rude in my earlier posts, I just spend 3 days without sleep @ the datacentre trying to sort this out, and I need to tell my clients why the machine performs so poorly compared to the previous one which only has a Core 2 Dou CPU with 4GB RAM in it. See my problem? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers
