If anyone actually has the 2.4 celery from server matrix, can you describe what you run on it and how it handles itself.

Well, I meant their package. (1 GB Ram, etc)

Works fine... I only have 1 with SM, but it runs like a champ.

I think they are overall OK. A server like that is probablly good for 30 - 50 light to medium traffic sites, or more depending on how much DB and dynamically generated pages are on it.

Although, I have a little problem using the terms "celeron" and "server" within the same sentence, they probably aren't the worst thing out there either.

There should not be much problem running anything. The core Celeron 2.4 CPU is the same as the current P4 with the same clock speed, the only difference is the smaller cache and it does not support Hyperthreading.

The 1gb RAM sure would help a lot. What do you intend to run on the machine ?

I have one such machine and it works just great and pretty comparable to my P4 2.8. I know it probably is a bad comparison because both machines are underutilized but my point is that it is still a good machine which you have nothing to worry about.

However if you intend to run very intensive application such as game servers or forums as active as the one here, you might be better off with a P4. Also if you are doing web hosting, it might be better to go with a P4 at least, it will instill confidence with your customers.

Actually I'm considering it for a single db-driven website, and to also function as a miscellaneous server (mail, dns). Isn't too intensive, yet at the same time there is no static content to serve. Everything's dynamic.

Probably be fine.

*Raises Hand*

We are using one, at the moment it has 20 or so small sites on it a few small forums and a few sites using db's and its working just fine at the moment with no strain at all.

I have one with only 256MB ram (from the early days) and it runs 3 dynamic sites (one with over a million hits a month) and 2 vbulletin forums (both usually only have around 15-20 simultanious users online though) - also runs mail and dns (and slave dns for a friends server), all the sites run like sh*t off a stick, average page generation time is about 0.020s - load averages 0.00 0.00 0.00, sometimes creep up to 0.30 :)

Good server, I find Celerons very stable, if you don't overload them. 1 GB RAM is a plus.
