It's getting long in the tooth. I don't remember exactly when we
bought it, but I believe it's 5+ years old. It's only a 800Mhz PIII.
Plone is putting excesive load on it and it seems to be slow to
respond. I think, given what we have running on it, we should
probably have 2Gb RAM and whatever CPU people believe is appropriate.
We're not only running plone, but Amavisd for spam and virus
detection. We have collected so much spam in the quaranteen that it's
taking some time to clean out right now.
We might want to increase disk space a little, but I don't think it's
a necessity. Faster disks would be an advantage. I don't think we can
do anything in that area without a newer motherboard.
My preferences lean towards a SuperMicro or Intel quality machine, not
a cheap clone with no name motherboard.
