smaller disks and more RAM. Rarely have I seen web applications needs
more than 20 Gig disks, but 2 Gig of RAM is always used. ;^)
You didn't mention the price, but you may also want to take a look at
TigerDirect.com - they often have great deals on servers. You can often
find dual PIII 1000's with Dual disks there in the $700 range. Dual
PIII's 1000's run extremely well (and should do even better with Linux)
and can often beat P4s - and you can get them at rock bottom prices.

Hello,
I'm looking into buying a new box and I was wondering if anyone has any
comments/suggestions on the following:
Price is an issue, so this is the main guts of the server I've been
looking at...
Intel Celeron 2.6GHz Processor
1GB PC2700 DDR Memory
(2) 120GB ATA100 RAID Hard Drives
ATA100 IDE RAID Controller Card
This would be running on a Linux OS, probably either RedHat or Debian.
I would also be purchasing a CFMX 6.1 license, our new project demands
verity so I believe that eliminates BlueDragon(if I find out otherwise I
will be looking at each as a possible option).
Also, I would be using MySQL and/or PostgreSQL on this same box.
Has anyone had experiencing running servers with Celeron processors?
Would there be any difference between a Celeron processor or P4?
(besides slight difference in processing speed)
Anything at all?
:-)
There is another box that I've seen with a comparable price, with a P4
2.4GHz, slightly more expensive and with 512MB less RAM. That is
probably my second option.
TIA,
