[TYPO3] Server - big enough (Athlon 1.2ghz)?

I have two dev-machines:

1000 MHz Pentium 3 with 1024 Megs RAM.

2.2GHz Athlon 64 with 1024 Megs of RAM.


I didn't stress test the 1Ghz P3 ever but the reaction times are quite fast
(rendering times of about 800-1500ms for quickstart page without any PHP accelerator
installed)

The 64-bit baby works like a charm even under quite some load.

I assume 256 Megs would be quite too low as mysql/filesystem do both caching and if
you would like to really speed up rendering times (double speed is reached easily)
you should use a php accelerator like eAccelerator - but this one also need quite
some Megs.


I think 512 Megs is the lower minimum for a server which can be "put on the internet"
else you would easily damage the "picture" of TYPO3 again by showing: "no connectoin
to database" T3 error messages on your site (there are already many prominent examples
of such issues)

I would spend the 10,- Euros more per month and go for a "usable" system. I think you
would "strapaziere die Nerven" of your editors with that 256 MB oldtimer :)
