but what Im asking is that the reality? go and talk to accountant and tell them after spending soansomuch for the new site hes has to buy a new server ! what will acountant say, what u think. another more important point is in reality u take a project on on a specific hardware base. lets say it a pretty new server fast a mercedes 500 but not a ferrari V1. because of ur great reusable code u do an extra ordinary competitive price bacause u are ready made that fast, u put it on the server and ? womm because of thausand of includes and stuff the customer is not happy with the speed. what u think who is going to pay the new hardware? or better who is going to cut down the code. well its me, because as senior consultant i'm taking over the projects from young programmers who went out of business because the postulations of the closed contract put them bankrupt. THATS THE REALITY so guys tell me on a design pattern frame work what requirements the server should fullfill that I can astimate if the customers situation will not put me out of business?
