Nope, neither the old one nor the new one (and the old server
has several sites on it). When we are done with the latest
imports I can give a run down on the size of our DB. The machine
is a dual processor with 1 gig of RAM. Overkill to be honest.

I have one site that is running with bender at the moment
(combination between multiple systems though). It has a half
gig of memory and 2 200MHZ  pentium pros in it. It runs several
sites and has the DB running on it. Its performance with 5K of
page views a day is fine.

I can tell you though that my Sparc Classic with 72 megs of RAM
will technically run bender, but the pages take 6 seconds to 
send. Think low end pentium if you want to compare it to 
an intel box. It really is to slow. I have not tried loading
it on my one Pentium 120 in the house.
