One of the servers is a DualP400 with 1Gig of ram that hosts a MySQL database which holds all the call records for our long distance customers. The other servers have 512 megs for our LD web site (laden with crummy perl code) and another serving as a dns server. Their performance is great and each have uptimes of over 100 days. Often I use one of them as an X client to also run netscape and whatnot onto my crummy workstation's xserver, never any problems. :) > I have a production server which at this time is a single PII 400.
