I know this is risky, but we have fairly low volume of hits, maybe several hundred per day, to the server. We can afford a pretty nice server selected. We are running it now on a server with no real problems (that we have seen). Compaq Proliant ML350 733/133 Hot Plug HD Model (128) (will compare Dell and HP too). Greater Than 512MB (not final yet) RAID 5 using 3 9.1GBHD's Dual Wide-Ultra2 Controller 10/100 NIC 12/24GB Backup NT SVR 4.0 etc. I want to run CF and SQL on this box. Questions: 1. Are there any huge draw backs to doing this. 2. Does it make more sense to get 2 lesser boxes? Please don't respond if you just want to bash Compaq.
