Hi Everyone,

May I ask your advices about the following hardware configuration :
DELL PE2900 III - Quad-Core Xeon X5450 3.0GHz/2x6MB
4GB 667MHz
6 X 1TB SATA (7.200 rpm) RAID 1/0 or RAID 0/1
PERC 6/i Internal RAID Controller Card
80GB SATA 7.2K 3.5inch Front Bay HDD RAID 1
16x SATA DVD 1 S
Broadcom TCP/IP Offload Engine functionality
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, 1

There are going to be 3 DB running on that machine and 10 users will
access to these 3 DBs.

Thanks

What kind of work will be being done? Is it going to have lots of reads
(such as Data Warehousing) or lots of writes?

I'd double the RAM, use 15k drives for the RAID-10 array and make sure
I used a 64-bit O/S.

RAM will make the biggest difference in performance.
