SCSI to HD?

You can't just transfer an OS to another PC. It'll just bluescreen on boot.

It has to be placed in a identical computer.
I was trying to save the OS in the server to keep from buying a OS. The Server I was given was an office PC the was replaced and dumped.
It still works great but it sucks online and I am trying to find out why. I just tried another Display dard but no faster.
Offline the system is very quick and i was trying to get it to work for a friend that can't afford the internet or the cost of replacing the OS.
Online everything about it slows down to a crawl.

I saw your other thread about this. What are your speeds? Did you try doing a speedtest? If it's slow online, that's an internet connection issue.
I build CCTV security sytems in my spare time. I take used PCs usually donated, to the cause, for low cost surveillance for friends and family and word of mouth only installations.
One family friend by marriage, then divorced, caught his exwife ( On my wife's side) sneaking into his yard at 3a.m. to steal anything she could. He was missing several things over time and was thinking it was one of his neighbors stealing stuff.
Everyone that has one of my systems have caught someone sneaking, looking, watching, driving by too often, and they all love the system, and I only charge for parts I have to buy, but usually around $20.
Anyway, I look at every system as a freebee for someone esle, and he wants free internet service from his friend and neighbor.
I guess I'll have to just use this server for CCTV instead of Internet.

None of this answers my questions from the last post.
Eh, it's pretty clear he'd rather not do any sort of troubleshooting on the box anyway.
It looked like the only solution was a rebuild from format, but thanks for the new questions.
The DSL I have is a flat, steady 6.0, the slowest is usually 5.98. Every other system I test here is running at that speed.
I have noticed just now that since I installed another display adapter the system after three restart seems to be quicker after all. I jus did a Speedtest.net with only the server online and the DSL speed was 5.98 with upload at 45.
THe speed is there, the system seems to just slow down when it has to really think about the online services.

I forgot to say that this Dell server is the second server I've worked on this fall. From the same company another server is working great, installed at another family friends house is working on the internet at about the same speeds as my home.
That system had six SCSIs, this server only has two SCSIs, but othre than that they are the same.
I've yet to understand why this one slows down so much it's not good enough to use online like the other.

Actually the video card did help a little. Before when I click on a video on Wimp.com the video would just start and hang within 10 seconds.
With the video card with more memory on board than the builtin video port, the video plays but is staggered or starts and stops, but it plays to the end of the video.
Any help to get it running better would help the family that needs it. I was hoping to get the system to them by Christmas, but it might be New Year now.

More RAM. 1GB is nothing by today's standards.
I decided to give the family a different computer since the Server is too slow online.
It's another dell with the same ram, it's HD instead of scsi, and CPU speed, just about the same everything and it works great online. I just watched several Youtube videos and most of Wimp videos with it.
I've signed them up for email with hotmail, and I'll deliver it tomorrow about noon, Christmas eve.
There is something not right with the server but I'm going to keep testing it until I get it right.
Thanks for the help.
