Hi all, As part of a project I'm involved in, we need to deploy a new server (ia32, FWIW: running Debian "sarge") to run a MySQL database (SME-sized, moderate complexity but not particularly large) + Java Application.
I figure that upgradability probably isn't a big issue here, as the obvious path is to deploy a second machine and separate the SQL and java onto separate hosts. A spec being considered includes: DFI PS83BL Intel 865 Chipset Hyper Threading Main Board (H/Threading, 800MHz FSB, AGP 8x, DDR400, 6-channel audio, S/PDIF-in/out, SATA, LAN, USB 2.0) Pentium 4 2.66GHz (533Mhz) CPU 2 x 512MB DDR400 Memory 3Ware 7506-4LP ATA 133 RAID Controller 2 x 40GB WD JB-series IDE HDD (7200RPM, 8MB Cache) (disks to run mirrored) Geoforce2 MX400 64MB DDR Graphics Card 52x IDE CDROM (usual bits: FDD, k/board etc) Anyone care to comment at to the appropriateness of the above spec (i.e. strengths, weaknesses, over/under-kill etc), in particular in terms of value-for-money?
