Tnx to all for your replies. A follow-up if I may? How much RAM are you using? My current "sand-box server" is very slow (4-7 seconds for searches, admin saves, etc) with only 2 gigs; we are refining our new specs and hesitating between 8 and 16 gigs for the new box. Our users and cataloguers are really looking for more or less instantaneous responses to OPAC searches and I'm looking for all the hardware design help I can get.

Best regards - Paul
