Well, a 600Mhz celeron is definitely workable. I recall when I first got on
the internet the ISP I was with way back then had a P133 with 32MB of ram
running, handling 5000 users to their web server. Maybe not all at once..but
it was pretty impressive compared to today's requirements.
Here is what I would look into:
PIII800Mhz (if budget allows)
256MB RAM minimum.
I have seen similar configs of above for around $2500. Keep in mind, as
others have said, The OS uses 32MB minimum..but WinNT and Win2K use 64MB, on
average. When you get the OS..try "cleaning up" any services you don't need.
The less tasks running, the better. If your just starting out, look for a
low-footprint database like Interbase 6, that is JDBC 2.0 compliant so you
can "swap" a database at a later date and still not lose your functionality
with it. I would try to run Win2K of WinNT on a laptop. I have had no
problems with Win2K on my laptop. I can say this..with my PII 266 laptop
with 64MB RAM, Win2K is crawling..and that is with nothing else running. If
you add in a database, an app server, and development tools, your looking at
least 256MB of ram to run smooth.
At any rate, look into Orion application server. Its a small footprint J2EE
app server that is very fast and already has EJB 2.0 and Servlet 2.3 pre
implementations. Its very easy to set up, and even easier to cluster, and is
very affordable. It actually offers more J2EE compliance than WebLogic,
WebSphere, and so on. It may not offer all the extra's but at as much as
1/60th the cost per server, you can't go wrong. If it doesn't work out in
the future..your J2EE..just switch to a new J2EE app server.
But I would seriously consider a 800Mhz PIII laptop..if your running dev
tools, the extra speed and as others said..especially the extra RAM will
greatly help out. There is nothing worse than having to wait 30 seconds
while memory gets cleaned up by the OS because the swap drive is constantly
being used.
