Re: config tuning question

Hi,

We were running an Pentium II/350, 256MB RAM, SCSI disk, FreeBSD 3.2, and
handling 880,000 hits per day. The load average never got over about 0.5.

I used past tense above because we've just paired that box with a PIII/450
mostly for redundancy but also to double the cache size.

I haven't done any tuning of the system.

In other words, your alpha is going to be bored.
