Hello, currently I have small server it was OK but from few weeks I get more and more new users.
it's:
A64 3700+
2gb ram
SATA 2x160in raid 1

I have a few discusions about exchanging HW.
there are mainly two options:
1. buy new one - DELL 860: xeon 3070 (2x2.6gb), SAS 2x disks, 2gb ram ecc (at the begining) and move there completly, cost 200E monthly
2. buy second machnie only for db - a64 3700+ or x2 4200, 1-2gb of memory SATA disks. cost 140E monthly (all 2 servers together)

currently I have 280users in peak and 190-200 in gallery

which option should be better? or should I use something different?

what's Your feeling?

Thanks in advance,
BR

With around 280 users online, you could get away with just adding memory to your existing server. Maybe add like 4 GB (on top of the 2 you have) and reconfigure mysql and apache.

If you really want a second box, I'd probably use it as a database server. Give it at least 2 GB memory though, if not more.

Your load should probably be much lower than that. We have 382 people online (this is a VPS, so it's not the only site on the box, but is the only site on this account) and a load of 0.05.



I'd submit a ticket so I can take a look directly.


OK,
I've done a ticket
thanks in advance
