"not good", this will be MORE than e= nough RAM and CPU. Yes, generally speaking "more" of something is always better, in fact our g= overnment seems to think more debt is better than less. However, if you're= web apps only need xGB of RAM and y MIPS; what benefit is it to have n * x= RAM and n * y MIPS? Maybe turn this into a virtual host and make some use of that hardware, or = just be happy using it at 5% capacity.

I just saw this box that is being promoted as a gaming machine at a=20=20 great price and am considering it as a web-server. In addition to having no information on the CPU as a server lack of=20=20 comfort with 6 cores and memory 8GB of memory that I am having a=20=20 problem with. I am not a gamer but I have always assumed that a=20=20 gaming machine needs the most aggressive hardware. I have also seen=20=20 this processor with 12 GB rather than 8 which, in my ignorance sounds=20=20 better. Any opinions and guidance are appreciated. Thanks, ed I will be running 9.0 on this as I am already doing on one of my web-server= s. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
