not sure ... my experience with suns is that they're pretty stable, we used to have one running at around 15 Mb/sec ... but then we swapped out to a new machine .... basically for more drivespace, better CPU power, and more ram to speed it up.

Lemme ask you, where the fuck would you get that kind of traffic?

BV · 02-12-2002, 02:33 PM

How many processes the server is handling at once would be your determining factor. A high traffic site is harder on a server than a low traffic site say with larger files when both sites would be using the same bandwidth.

It depends on what types of sites your running. If your pushing straight galleries to TGP's you can get a lot out of that machine.

If you have 20 domains running, traffic trading scripts, tgp scripts... it's going to handle a lot less.

We have a dual p2 350, 512 Ram, with an 40 gig IDE drive pushing 20 megabits and it can push a lot more. It's only serving TGP galleries though. So it Just depends

If it's just pushing straight web service with no scripts or database or anything, a pentium 200 with 256megs can saturate a 10baseTX, and probably a 100baseT!

A sparc 10 has two pluggable processor slots which can accommodate up to 8 processors. If your machine has only one processor, I would reccommend making sure it's 75MHz or faster.

The machine can accept 512MB of RAM, and depending on the total size of all the files you wish to serve (not the bandwidth, the total size of the files), I would try and upgrade to 512MB. I think that box takes standard SIMMS, but I'm not sure.

BTW, you can pick them up for about $30 usually on E-bay, or for under $250 from some refurbishers and retailers --
