RE: Server Hardware
Unless you need all that disk space, I'd trade some of it for faster processors.It's easier to swap out disks for larger ones down the road than to upgrade your processors, especially with Celerons.I'd consider a gig of RAM a minimum, especially if you're running CF and a DB on one box, so that second box is questionable, though another 512 of RAM shouldn't be that much more. -Original Message- From: Yves Arsenault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 6:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Server Hardware 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, Yves Arsenault Carrefour Infotech 5, Acadian Dr. Charlottetown, PEI C1C 1M2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (902)368-1895 ext.242 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

You might want to look at Dell dimension 4200 for your box, however I understand there are some issues with getting verity running on a Linux system. == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

RE: Server Hardware
The issue with Verity on Linux is that it doesn't work on anything above RedHat 7.2: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/mx61_known_prob lems.html#verity chris From: Doug White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 6:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Server Hardware You might want to look at Dell dimension 4200 for your box, however I understand there are some issues with getting verity running on a Linux system. == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

RE: Server Hardware
Sounds like a winner to me - although if possible you might consider 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.
