I am running the current version which is labeled ColdFusion MX. According to Macromedia, you need a Pentium Processor, 128M RAM Minimum, 256M RAM recommended, and 512M RAM preferred, and 350M id HD space. I was running MySQL, Apache standard & secure, Sendmail for 25 people, ColdFusion MX, and a Firewall on a Celeron 400 with 384M Ram and slower IDE HDs. This configuration did noticeably slow down the server. After removing all large MySQL databases, leaving the server running did improve performance. Loading ColdFusion onto a Xeon 800 box w/Raid 5 SCSI, 512M RAM, running multiple HighHit Web Sites, with MySQL running some small databases, has not slowed performance at all. Personally, I am not sure which component caused the biggest slow down, CPU, Ram, or HD. My guess is RAM, then CPU, then HD. Personally, I have found, it best to have any SQL server running on the fastest box, with the most RAM, and your WebServer and CF on a 2nd box. This will give you the best performance without having to buy 2,4 or 8way processor boxes.

If you don't mind me asking, which version of the server are you using on
Linux.  We have been asked to set such a system up and are looking for
background.  Also, does CF put much of a load on the server. We are
running Debian Stable. (woody).  Thanks for any info.
