As a comparison, here's the spec of Ourshack.com (which houses
Template Toolkit amongst other projects). I don't think anyone's
complained about performance just yet.
Pentium II 233MMX
320MB RAM (this we have upgraded)
14GB HD
Box is running Apache, Roxen, MySQL and all the regular stuff (named,
mail, mailman), never seems to be heavily loaded.
So you might be quite surprised how little you need to add. The
biggest expense may be some kind of backup device.
