I was wondering whether it would be possible to let the orion server(s) switch datasource as a sort of failover procedure. I haven't digged myself into clustering and failover, but here's the idea. Assuming you have made sure the server are running with failover and you have bought yourself a

Well, for development, in terms of how fast you want to compile your code, I would go with the fastest PC you can afford. However, I have a PIII650 with 256MB RAM, and 9GB HD that is more than fast enough for development purposes. Unless you plan on playing games, you can probably get a $700
