Re: LARGE database???
Chris:
1. Definately some sort of Unix based system... NT is just too
unstable.
2. Look into a VPN / secure channel for the database link.
2a. You'll want a good speed link at that too!
3. PII-400 minimum... 256MB RAM minumum...
3a. we run Alpha based systems and also Intel based.
3b. 512MB memory in the Intels, 768MB in the Alpha.
4. Attempt to use static builds (maybe), cache stuff definately.
