Hardware Requirements

Hi there,

Quick question... maybe. Hardware Requirements

I'm looking to move up from a shared server to a dedicated server. I've seen everything offered from a PII 866 with 128 MB of RAM to the sky's the limit.

Can someone point me to or tell me what I should be looking at as far as minimum processing power (i.e., CPU and RAM) for a server running Linux and doing your basic mail and Web serving and running a few MySQL databases?

I know that's pretty vague, but I don't think I have outrageous needs at the moment, although I am growing. I'd just like to get some idea of where I should start. Much of what I am seriously looking at right now has a CPU of anywhere between a 1.3 GHz Celeron to a 2 GHz P4, with 500 MB of RAM. Sound good, or are you looking forward to seeing my about-to-be-purchased server choke? Hardware Requirements

Thanks in advance.


Craig
