Opinion on using AMD Phenom II x6 1090t with Gigabyte 890BPA-UD3H and 8GB DDR-3 as a WebServer.

[Gary Gatten]

Of course it depends on your apps, but unless you're doing some HUGE number of connections, or your apps are .... "not good", this will be MORE than enough RAM and CPU.

Yes, generally speaking "more" of something is always better, in fact our government seems to think more debt is better than less.  However, if you're web apps only need xGB of RAM and y MIPS; what benefit is it to have n * x RAM and n * y MIPS?

Maybe turn this into a virtual host and make some use of that hardware, or just be happy using it at 5% capacity.

Subject: Opinion on using AMD Phenom II x6 1090t with Gigabyte 890BPA-UD3H and 8GB DDR-3 as a WebServer.

I just saw this box that is being promoted as a gaming machine at a  
great price and am considering it as a web-server.

In addition to having no information on the CPU as a server lack of  
comfort with 6 cores and memory 8GB of memory that I am having a  
problem with.  I am not a gamer but I have always assumed that a  
gaming machine needs the most aggressive hardware.  I have also seen  
this processor with 12 GB rather than 8 which, in my ignorance sounds  
better.

Any opinions and guidance are appreciated.

Thanks,

ed

I will be running 9.0 on this as I am already doing on one of my web-servers.
