My current = configuration is a dual Pentium 866 mhz + 1024 GB Ram + Raid 5 (Adaptec = 2100S + 3 Quantum Atlas 10KII) which isn't that bad, but I need more :) I'm also considering to save money and somehow buy an Alpha or a Sun = server - so some input on this is appreciated too. Coming back to earth (trying to find a configuration which in fact I = _can_ afford :) I realise I must go for a Intel or Amd solution - so my = question to you is: How can i get the best price/performance? Some things to know:=20 -the webserver will run lots of CGI's. -Space is not that important -Stability is really really really important -Sites on it will be not that much in count, but all will use LOTS of = bandwidth. Any input on this is really appreciated, Many Thanks In Advance, Ali ------=_NextPart_000_0024_01C0B4C0.96A52620 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.3103.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#d7d7d7> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi Guys,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>This will be my first question = here, so wish=20 me luck :)</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>The thing is I need a really high = performance=20 webserver.
