The reality is, I have little concept of what overhead is involved in running a database server and simultaneously running an Apache server for Web Apps. I'm used to just using a machine that goes far beyond the call of duty, but servers just don't really work this way. I was hoping for tips on predicting database size (I'm using Postgres), the amount of overhead this places on the processor and memory, and additionally how much is involved for running Web Apps. I realize this is variable given traffic size versus the complexity of the Web App, but I'm really just looking for pointers. For my particular prototype, I don't expect more than ten people to be using the web app at any given moment, the most complex operations it will be doing is database queries and chart production, and I don't see more than 2mb of data being written to the database over an hour's time. I'm looking at the following server, let me know if it sounds like it'd achieve my purposes, please: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/atom_slfjt01 Much appreciated! _________________ Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Windows XP Pro SP3 Ubuntu 11.04 via Virtual Box RS Enterprise 2011r3 "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried." - G.K.
