Absurd. Are you running your disks, CPU, memory and network at 100% utilization all day long? If not, by your estimation, you are wasting resources. You rent your VMs so you feel the need to run them at as close to 100% CPU as possible to extract as much "value" as you can, I suppose. My VMs run on hardware I or my customers own, so we don't feel the need to run them as hard as possible to justify their existence. One major reason for virtualizing is that so many workloads use little or no CPU a lot of the time, and just because my DNS server uses less than 1% CPU doesn't mean I'm wasting resources on it. In every environment I manage, the resource I run out of first is memory - I haven't had CPU bottleneck any system I manage since the days of ESX 2.0. >$40 per month with some, vs $120 per month. Perhaps you should have your email hosted rather than try to run it yourself if those numbers make you uncomfortable? >ASSP2 1196 (435 per day) I'm sure Thomas assumed most people are doing more than 400 emails a day when he made that recommendation. If your ASSP installation runs fine with one core and you like running it with one core, have at it. Just don't call a four core recommendation "insane." It isn't. - Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
