As with most things, the devil is in the details: What kind of queries are you planning to run, and what search features will you be using, e.g., faceting, sorting, highlighting, etc. A desired query response time is meaningless without also specifying the number of simultaneous users. Your best bet is to set up a prototype, and benchmark your search. Having said that, your proposed hardware seems more than adequate for your needs: 1. If possible, use SSDs or fast disks 2. I would not use Windows as a server platform Regards, Gora
