What's that from, the sys reqs? If it truly is that much I'd agree. But I'll bet you don't really need that much. I'm just running a developer server locally here, and according to task manager, it's using less than 100 MB. Granted, not much is happening, but I tried to hammer it a bit with a bunch a page loads, and the RAM usage didn't change at all. But you understand this server stuff a lot better than I do Dave. I'm just saying that from my experience, and what I have heard from professionals that run hosting companies, it's a lot cheaper to run a Linux box, partially because you can squish a lot more sites on one box. --------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
