We're going to be running Linux with Apache and MySQL (with Perl as the interface). Should be pretty low load at first, but we want to let the machine be as expandable as possible. My question is for the intial build, should we focus more on faster CPU's or on more RAM? I'm curious as to which would be a better performer. I know it's good to have plenty of both *grin* but we (of course) have a limited budget initially and would like to know which route is better to start up with. Thanks for any advice, -- Scott Moseman Got Linux? scottm@stripped scotech.com
