Re: [Virtuoso-users] Virtuoso Server Hardware Suggestions

[Ivan M. <imi...@op...>]

Hello Peter,

The link does not show anything except title page, it depends on your
login and/or other credentials. Could you please cut+paste the selected
configuration (and its price) into the mail?

The last box I've assembled for Virtuoso development was

6 * RAM DDR-3 8Gb
1 * Intel 5520HCR Motherboard
2 * Intel Xeon E5620 CPUs
3 * WD5003ABYX SATA-II HDDs
1 * Chieftek BX-02B-B-SL miditower
1 * Cooler Master RS-A00-AMBA-J3 ATX power
(plus DVD, video, CPU coolers, case fans)

Some about $4100 last December, now it should become cheaper. It has
spare room for RAM and disks so it can be used for relatively long time.

Best Regards,

Ivan Mikhailov
