We have tried all sorts of things. The hardware is propriety as
well as the software, and was developed only for this software
which is only used in a few buildings in Australia and will be
gone in about a years time. So we dont want to have to reinvent
the wheel with this one either. <br>
<br>
Anyway we have a solution now. So its all good now.<br>

Thanks to all who have replied. We have plenty of options to
go with now.<br>

I wish that I could virtualise them, but unfortunately the
software is propriety and requires direct hardware access to
a card which does not work via virtualisation.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the interruption to the normal programming, but
I have a client with a proprietary application running on
a whole bunch of DL140 servers that are starting to fail
or become unreliable. The software is running on Win XP
and has to stay this way for at least another 12 months.
So we are looking for some servers that are XP compatible
and I thought I would try the list first in case anyone
has some old servers or spares around that they would like
to off load before I go digging around on ebay. The only
requirement is that they have a free PCI-E port for a full
height card.<br>
<br>
I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
:)<br>
