i have two old servers atm ... a dual 1.4ghz & dual 1.2ghz p3 processors each with 2gb of ram ... at peaks, my load averages are at most 0.5 on each of the server ... now, im going to get a new server and then move the contents of both servers into one badass server ... combined, these two servers are eating up about 25-30mbps monthly .... here are the specs of bad ass server :

Bandwidth: 50Mbps
Server: Dell 1850
CPU: Dual 2.8Ghz Xeon w/1MB Cache
Ram: 2 GIG (might get it to 3gb sometime soon)
Hard Drive: 73 GIG SCSI

now my question is, do you think the badass server would be able to handle the load of the sites combined from the two older servers ... with scripts that include 3 ucj, 1 atx, 2 comus, 1 tmanager, 1 smartthumbs, 1 at3 & 1 madtgp

please tell me what you guys think ...

thanks in advance

Should be no problem.
Especially if you'll use freebsd on it

Ycaza · 05-23-2005, 11:42 PM

yep, really easy too

sandman! · 05-23-2005, 11:44 PM

i would rather have the 2 old boxes

Paulzy · 05-23-2005, 11:47 PM

collocation or dedicated?

Blackrose · 05-24-2005, 05:28 AM

dedicated of course

When you buy a pimped-out server like that, you shouldn't be expecting the hardware to disappoint you.

The only way you're going to know is to test it out. Good luck!

im expecting to get one of this, its no surprise, this is gfy ... expect .01% serious answer when you ask a serious question

latinasojourn · 05-24-2005, 11:29 AM

suggest raising RAM to 4gb or max.

When you actually deploy your server, what good is 10x RAM going to do when the bottlneck is an expensive database query that should be cached or an infinite loop in your application?

25% of the battle is having good hardware. This much you have. Your server is a monster!!!
75% of the battle is configuring the operating system, applications, etc to function to their full potential. This part is a <b>PROCESS</b>, not something you buy in a box.

If you want easy answers, you're not gonna get it. "Double your RAM" or use this RAM instead of that RAM bla bla bla isn't going to help. What you can do is try some benchmarking applications like ab... this kinda thing will give you pretty graphs and some numbers to look at -- which might put you at rest -- but I will tell you from experience: the only test that matters takes place in a real world situation.

Really, at this point you don't need to dump any more $$$ into that server.

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE MAN!

Once again, good luck!
