I see you have 12G. I'm totally ignorant on the distribution of memory for the 6 cores if there is such a thing. Is it advantageous to have a multiple of 6 when ordering memory? (12, 18, 24) As far as stability is concerned for a webserver, I don't see it as a major concern. I'm sure some of my older machines of the last 15 years were less stable even though they all had ECC, raid, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong. My perspective from Mexico, I'm sure is very different than if I were in the US or Europe, etc. Thanks, ed
