Hi,
I just want to get a quick take on what people think about the
reliability of the F50s.

We just bought one and we're planning on putting some fairly important
stuff running on it and want to know what kind of reliability we can
expect. We bought this one off ebay. The software (CMVC!*) has been
running reliably on a little ol' 43P for over 5 years, but I'm tired of
putting up with the poor perormance. The F50's a big step up - quad CPUs
and 3GB memory. I'm not crazy about buying a second F50 for a cold
spare but plan on being able to fall back on the 43P with suitable
savevg's just in case.

We run a lot of Netfinity 4500R's and have found them to have a common
problem with VRM/Motherboard failures. I just want to see if there's any
such common failure with the F50 and would appreciate any feedback along
those lines.

*Yeah, I know CMVC isn't supported anymore, but the old "if it ain't
broke don't fix it" applies, and we've not yet found anything else that
works as well for our development model and isn't an overpriced pile of
crap.

Thanks!
John
