Just wondering for those of you running any of these types of sites/scripts what kinda server you are using (in terms of hardware specs and such) Im being told they are very intense on servers, so Id like some first hand responses from those running them what they think is minimum and what you are using if you are running one.
We have clients with those kind of sites running Dual Core Pentium D's and don't run into too many issues as far as CPU goes. I would recommend looking for either a Dual Xeon or a high end Pentium D (2.6Ghz+). You will run into Disk IO issues before CPU though, so you are better off with a Sata (1/2) or even a SCSI drive for those kind of applications.
