Cheapest Compaq or Dell 64-Bit Server That Can Hold 12 GB of Memory
What is the cheapest Dell or Compaq server that fits these requirements:
1) 2U or 3U rackmount configuration 2) At least six hotswap drive bays 3) 64 Bit CPU capable of running Windows 2003 4) Can take a minimum of 12 GB of memory 5) Cheaper is better (neither the CPU nor the memory need to be very fast, as this is going to be a file server) -- Will |

It's a 100 GB file system and 10GB of that file system are read heavily. Rather than investing in space and time to configure/manage a RAID array of drives to make the reading fast, I want to cache the heavily read files in system memory. That lets me get buy with cheaper, slower drives, do less configuration and ongoing management of a RAID array, etc. -- Will |
