Is >this combination likely to fly? Any advice welcome, with thanks. Just to give an example at the more extreme end. We had a 486/66 with 32Mb and about 90 web sites pushing 7000 hits per hour, which was the average, so it would peak at around 20-25K hits per hour. About 4-8Mb memory free and a load of about .70 at peak times. I'd say go for 16Mb ram. Never hurts to have a bit more. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
