I have to ask this while I am thinking about it. I have 10 devices, computers and Tivo's that I am going to put together into some kind of organized system this summer. I want to be able to hold all the media files in one place. Pics, movies, audio, documents and the like. Along with the Tivo's in the home I have a media PC that I run also. So my question is what is the best way to back-up all of this. Should I look into Home Server 2011 even though they have scrapped the drive extender? I want a secure way to keep the data and a way to image the OS and programs from the systems so should I ever need to replace a failed drive in any of the computers it's just a matter of putting that image on a replacement drive.

Forget running Windows 7 on 2GB of ram. I have Windows 7 x64. I started out with this computer as a new build about a year ago August. I bought windows Vista x64 Ultimate a few months prior to 7 being released, but I got it free when it came out as part of the deal I bought Windows Vista. I didn't pay any extra they were just doing it to sell Vista's remaining inventory. I have a Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P and Phenom II X4 945. I wanted the 955 black edition for overclockability, but they were out at that store and I didn't want to drive the 30 miles to the Plano store to get the 955. Now in retrospect I should have. I got 4gigs of Kingston 1866 OC Ram. I thought that would be more than sufficient. Wrong. I bought another 4 gig kit to bring the total to 8 gigs and it is wonderful! I would rather have this thing plugged with 16 GB, but with the new 6 core AMD's and the price of ram coming down I am going to wait till next year give this system to my mom and build a new six core or maybe even 8 core if I wait late enough in 2011. This is a long drawn-out way to tell you to go for 8 gigs on your new system. I run my browser, Word, Outlook, and World of Warcraft all at the same time and get my full frame rate at the max detail.
