Okay, I agree. I think that a single httpd process can handle one connection and does not use a lot of ram. To serve static pages one probably needs very little ram. The main part of the process' ram is probably used by PHP et al. So, maybe 32 mb is enough for 10 (or so) connections, then 64 mb would be sufficient for 20 connections.
Although if your PHP scripts use a lot of ram (i.e. to store lots of data in ram) the numbers will be different. Also, "too much" ram is not unused. It is used as cache and buffers (input/output, program execution, etc.). To conclude, I would go for a DS-106 or a DS-101g+. And if noise is an issue, then a DS-101. And if money does not matter, I would get a CS-406. :-) I still do not know if an arm or a ppc processor at the same MHz speed is more performant. The disk interface (SATA vs. IDE/ATA) probably has an influence on the performance as well. Especially if you use a database or read large junks of data from the disk in some way (swapping, searching data). flipflip -- flipflip Check out flipflip's 'SlimServer On DiskStation (SSODS)' (http://oinkzwurgl.org/software/ssods/)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flipflip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5223 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24626 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
