Tom If this is a multitier system, what will be running on this server? Both Oracle DB and an application server? I second Raj's comment, consider Oracle licensing. Servers today are priced as commodities. Oracle DB is not. If you run only Oracle DB on a server, you will get maximum benefit from your software licensing fees.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 4:59 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have a question, I have to make a decision on the purchase of a new web server for a multiteir Oracle based system. So here are my two remaining options, all other things remaining equal, on a system which has 100% dynamically generated web pages. 1. A server with one 2ghz CPU. or 2. A server with two 1ghz CPU. Which will provide more power? A little more food for though. Would a server with a 1ghz CPU and 512mb RAM be adequate for a Oracle backed web site, which the pages are all 100% dynamic? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Tom Schruefer INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
