Database box. Databases *love* RAM and I/O. 2,4 or more gig of memory is going to cost. Then there's the RAID card and 15Krpm drives to consider. A decent RAID 10 configuration's (1) going to have 5 or more SCSI drives in it, sitting in hot-swap cradles. Not a cheap setup, by any means. But if you're running Oracle the hardware cost's insignificant anyway ;) Cheers Paul Haddon Technical Services Manager Formstar Print Technologies (1) RAID 5 isn't a good idea for databases. Or in any situation where you value your data, for that matter.. --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
