If I had just a few hosting accounts
(say 40)Could I tell much differance between
400Mhz processor
SCSI Hard Drive
256RAM
and a
1000Mhz
256Ram
IDE Hard Drive
as far as page load times and processing ability.would it be 2 seconds differance,8 seconds ?
I know I should have more RAM but the budget won't allow this month.
Would this work or am I setting myself up for heart break?
thank you

depends on cpu type a little but you will see a performance increase for sure - if you are talking a p3 1g vs celeron 1g you will see a big difference there too.

ok
Intel Celeron
400Mhz
VS
Intel P3
800Mhz
or 1gMhz
I am talking about only 40 accounts on the whole server.
I am just thinking because it is such a little load on server, would I really see any differance?

with low load there would be no noticable difference... with scsi the 400 may even be slightly faster in some areas... i've run a very busy site with heavy php/mysql on a raq3 with 128mb ram before, i don't recommend that but it worked... you'll be fine...

If it's straight up HTML you will not see a difference unless you've got hundreds of concurrent, simultaneous requests. Regular web hosting is just the serving of files, nothing more and nothing less. If you're delivering content out of a database, script or dynamically that's more CPU and RAM dependant.

You may or may not see a difference. Factors affecting:
1. Sites are dynamic or static?
2. Database driven sites?
3. Similar Peak Times for visitors?
If answers is yes to all, there's a chance that the difference would be noticable.
