Something to consider is what is your expected growth over the lifetime
of this server. If you depreciate the servers cost to 0 in 3 years time
and expect to replace it then, and the amount of traffic in 3 years time
will not be significantly higer then stick with that. Otherwise bump
your ram and have a look a getting a quick disk system.

Subject:  Best Hardware to buy for Apache 

Hi All

  We just had our old apache server die, looking to upgrade quickly.  

Anyone have a good link to some hardware discussions for 

apache.  Our apache machine will run as a load balancer, 

using mod_jk to pass requests to tomcat.  I was thinking 2 G 

of ram and a cheap dual core processor.  Any opinions?  Load 

is probably about 20 - 30 people on clicking continually. 

Thanks
AFrieze

Thanks for the reply

I could bump to 4 G of ram. As the machine will be mostly acting as a 

load balancer, will there be a benefit in quick drives?

Thanks
