And a Supermicro D525 as a file server with a 1 TB drive. Where they are going, they have power issues and low-power systems, with a UPS, might just survive. Each is maxed out with 4GB RAM. And I am also keeping one application per machine for simple maintenance and 'safeguard' performance.
I should also note that if you're considering an Atom N550, it has a limit of 2GB RAM (which is odd, considering it's 64-bit running DDR3 and its predecessor, the N525, maxes out at 4GB of DDR2). Crucial seems to think that's not the case, and I can't convince them otherwise. - Dave
