[cobalt-users] Qube3 max disk size - loading RAQ4r ISO - RAM size as backup box?

I've got a qube 3 pro (dual nic) which I'm planning on turning into a backup box for some raqs - ie, to put TWO drives into it, and hopefully use them as a RAID 1 configuration and dump all the data from about 4 raq onto it nightly... I already have it running a 500Mhz cpu, so I'm thinking that it's going to be fine for this purpose...
4 questions:
1. what is the largest capacity drives it will handle?
2. is tha RAQ4r ISO the best route to go for this machine?
3. I currently have 768Mb of RAM in the machine - will it work ok as this backup machine with a single 128Mb DIMM?
4. if I'm just loading backups, is there any benefit to running the machine at 500mhz, or would a revert to the 300mhz cpu be in order?
tia
