We pay less than $200 per 256MB of RAM. It is pretty easy to build killer 1U
rack servers for about $1,000. The web servers generally only need 256MB of
RAM because it is a distributed farm and shares the load.

Subject: $1,000 servers (was: High-Powered Scaling)
Yo, Paul,
Where can I get a $1,000 server that will run 13,000 domains with 99.9%
uptime? I am serious. I am paying about $800 for 512mb of ram on our Dell
2450s. At that price, I would have to get everything else for $200!
Please tell us. Or, just tell me<g>.
Cary
