Main task: basic webserving
rig:
Antec Chassis w/Smartpower 400W
Gigabyte AMD762 Dual CPU board (w/ onboard RAID)
Athlon MP 2400 Retail x 2
512MB PC2100 x 2 (this board supports 2gb of non-ecc unbuff)
Radeon 7000 32MB AGP (cheap and stable 2D)
Seagate Cuda 120GB 8MB cache x 2
Floppy/Basic 52X cd-rom drives
Total comes to under $1k shipped, another $140 for WinXP pro. Will this be adequate for basic webserving? Does it really need more than 1gb of ram? BTW I was thinking of setting up a RAID-0 array and telling him to get a separate tape backup which would should be alot cheaper than going with a more expiensive RAID setup.
