Title: RE: Server Recommendations
|
Others
have talked about CPU ... consider licensing costs too. But 512MG RAM? Gimme me
a break ... I have 768MB RAM on my home PC that I use for casual
work.
But
the max RAM that your bean counters will allow you to, and then some more. This
is true, especially if you will be running MS OS ... it hogs all available
memory, and JAVA is proving to be some compitition to MS in this memory hogging
capabilities as well.
Just
my thoughts ... on a Sat.

Correct answer.
Here’s a little more detail to think about.
Assuming that you’re
using a reasonably scalable OS (I’m honestly not sure whether MS Windows yet
actually qualifies), two 1GHz CPUs will provide more scalable performance
under higher concurrency loads. (Scalable doesn’t mean faster, it means more
consistent. See “Scalability is a Rate of Change” at www.hotsos.com/catalog.) However,
under low concurrency loads, a faster CPU will execute more CPU instructions
in the same amount of time. You might also take a look at “Batch Queue
Management and the Magic of ‘2’” at www.hotsos.com/catalog for additional
insight.
