Just started thinking about this... but now that we are basically paying for all the datastore reads/writes, and bandwidth separately...
Isn't paying $60 a month for a 600 MHZ instance with only 128 MB ram a little expensive? Just taking a quick glance at EBAY, I can buy a > 2 GHZ machines with over a GB of memory all day long. I can buy BRAND NEW Intel Atom Dual-Core D525 Processor(1.8GHz, 1MB L2 Cache), Support Intel Hyper-Threading technology, with 1GB memory for ~ $160 all day long http://www.amazon.com/SHUTTLE-XS35V2-PC-Barebone-System/dp/B004XJCCQO/ref=sr_1_2?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1323866320&sr=1-2 Call me crazy, but I still have my 1 GHZ pc I bought back in 1999 (12 years ago) sitting in the garage and I would have a problem giving it away (It also has a lot more memory than 128 MB ram). A standard (small) SAME PRICEd Amazon EC2 instance comes with 1.7 GB of memory and even their FREE micro instance gives you 613 MB of memory. I understand computers were a lot more expensive back in 1999, but they have gotten a lot cheaper over the past few years. Please justify what I am paying for because right now I am trying to justify upgrading to the F2 instance class for twice the price ($120/month) just so I can double up and get a whopping 256MB ram! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
