Susan, A well spec's entry level windows machine is enuf.
If Windows itself works well, its enough.
So XP 2.8 ghz 500 meg
Vista 1gig mem etc
BUT.... if they going to be used for "development" as well, and they
probably will, double the memory.
Its not a TC thing, its because you have Netbeans open, Postgres, TC,
Multimedia, Flash etc etc
Otherwise you'll find when you open IE7 which is very greedy... things get
a little slow.
You can actually hide TC on normal user machines, its very gentle, great
product.
For internal use intranets and typical low volume company sites, nothing
more.
If you setting up a high volume SP, then start thinking about putting TC
and its dB on linux, raid disks etc.
Its a cost thing... also no games and users messing with it, so it just
runs and runs forever.
The thing you will find with windows entry level box's is that IDE really
beds down with lots of concurrent disk activity. Delivering a video,
driving a dB and doing web hits... the drives quickly become slow.
For example, empty a recyle bin, do a search and copy stuff across a
network, you'll see IDE take strain.
Normal co sites IDE is fine.
Apache and TC will run happily together on an entry level MS box... if you
really need both?
Personally I think XP is better than Vista.
I think 40 gigs is probably the entry level disk size now for windows,
more than enough, but if you using this say for dB's and wikis and the
like... naturally you need to allow for that.
On developer machines we use a 40gig C drive and 200 gig D drives and they
use it.
I am trying to put together some system requires for running Apache HTTP
Server and Tomcat on windows machines. I have looked all over but I
can't
seem to find a minimum system specification for windows. I want to run
tomcat 6.0 and I need CPU, Hard Drive Space, Memory and anything else
that
will tell the customer what the need. I would like to know the minimum,
medium, ideal system specifications for windows. If anyone know where I
can
find this information or has these specs please let me know.
Thanks,
Susan
