Ok, we've had "Who's got the fastest computer", so now it's time for who's got the fastest webserver!

Come on, don't be shy...

Our mean machine is a dual p3 1Ghz, 1GB of RAM, 2 x 36GB SCSI drives in RAID 1.

I recently put up an Intel SCB2 based machine with dual 1.26GHz PIII Tualatin processors, 512K cache each, 2GB RAM, 3 * 36GB Seagate Cheetah 15K RPM SCSI drives.

It seems plenty fast.

On the desktop front my kids have faster computers than I do so I chose not to enter that particular competition. Next we need a "how many computers do you have at home competition" only to be followed by a "where do you live including street address" competition so that the underprivledged nurture not nature folks can rip us all off.

mwatkins, that server hasnt gone live to the public yet (no-one its there yet), were still developing some backend scripting.... even if it was at 400+ processes, its a solid system...

we have a couple in production, some are win2k servers ;)
