Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Hardware Configuration for an ACS Site

Yup I agree with John.  But putting up another CPU in the initial purchase will go beyond 4K.  I have removed some RAM and will save that up on the upgrade phase, since adding RAM does not require any reconfiguration on software.  I had to save some bucks there.  Pretty bad decision but that is the only area that I can save some bucks initially.  I will try to spend more money on things that must be purchased initially like HD, RAID controller and backup device.  This components must be in the box since if I where to adde them after I would probably need to backup restore the box.

I will also forgo the Penguin Computing option, its really nice especially the AMD.  There is also Pogo Linux.  But this vendors seems to have in the same price range of Dell, I guess I now under stand why VA Linux had to go.  I am looking at http://www.fnordsystems.com, they look techincal enough and cheap.  Anybody have opinions about fnord?

Anybody had benchmarked an OpenACS site?
