I am intrested to the servermatrix 2.4ghz celeron box.

may i know the celeron box suitable run window 2003 standard edition or not?

let said, one 5000 active members forum taking 60GB bandwidth/month , how many this type site i can host in 2.4 celeron box with 1GB ram and not overload or down?

thank you

we are running windows server on it with no problems but we arent hosting any huge sites on there so not sure how it would perform with a busy forum

There's no problem running Windows Server 2003 on a 2.4Ghz Celeron.

The issue is how many page view you're getting and what your peak loads are.

The Celeron is a nice workhorse which can act as a troublefree workhorse. It may not win races but it sure can perform.

As for your forum, do you have 5000 users all on the forum concurrently or you have a total of 5000 users but they log in at different times ? What is your most active time and how long it is sustained and at the peak, how many users would there be ?

At your current server or site, what is your CPU Load like ?
