Will geovision card GV800 (PCI 32 bit) work on this server?

1 x 64-bit/33MHz PCI slot (Available) and 1 x 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X slot

(Occupied); both full-height, half-length

 

I need to buy two cheap 1U servers where I can isntall GV800 PCI, SATA would be nice, otherwise I need to stransfer files via LAN.

Personally, I'd stay away from Dell. Tried Geovision on a couple of different models and had nothing but problems. Chipset compatability? Don't know but we've ended up just building our own.

if you must buy a ready made, i would look at the systemax, they are more like home brew computers with decent motherboards and normal BIOS. Some of the dells I worked on recently, they had a freaky BIOS which would reset to defaults after a while .. no battery or other issue .. just the BIOS would trip out .. looked like some custom Dell or Intel Bios. Otherwise the Gv1480's worked fine on it with XP SP3 and 8.33. It was the Dell Optiplex though, now the Poweredge.

 

Also the link you provided was to an old PC, with a 3ghz P4, that will crawl with Geo 8.3+, I have a P4 so I can tell you that for a fact!

so what is min spec for GV800 (16 cams)?

according to GV website that's P4, 1024 RAM.

I just need realy cheap 1U rack server for that.

It was P4 until version 8.3 came around .. its much much much slower then the older versions of software (or moreso requires much faster hardware), primarily as they develop it now on much faster systems. Personally I wouldnt go less then a modern Pentium Dual Core .. eg,. E5300 .. and 2GB of DDR2 667/800 min. if you have an older card you could run version 8.1x and can then use P4. With even older versions 7.x for example we could even run Celerons without issue.

 

Im in the middle of ordering parts for a rack system right now, what i would consider fairly cheap, under $400 and using new hardware, and can hold up to 6 internal HDDs, but its a 4U as thats the size the card will fit in. Anything smaller I would imagine a riser card would be needed, PCI express riser card for current cards.
