Hello. We are thinking in get a dedicated. We don't have lots of webs hosted. For a number of 50 webs, more or less, could be sufficient a celeron 1700?
Some of them use data bases.

Thanks.

Hola Major.

You could start with a Celeron, but I would not recommend it.

Start with the P IV - single CPU. Then you can add more CPU and RAM if needed.

A Celeron would be fine for just servicing static web pages, but not for a lot of database activity... it would just not work well for you.

Yep. I have like 50 sites or so to be moved over to my server.
I started with Pentium IV right away. It's WAY better than the celeron

Not that much more expensive anyway.

i aint too much expert on computer RAM and processor things but just got a question

Intel Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz
Intel Pentium IV 2.4Ghz 533Mhz
AMD Athlon 2.4Ghz

they all 2.4Ghz right? is there any other differences im them? why does the prices vary when they all the same

I'm not an expert, but I believe it involves the number and how the processing is done. Of course, speed is important, but it's only part of the story. A dual Xeon 2.4 Ghz would have twice the processing capacity of a single processor with the same speed. The Pentium, if I'm not mistaken, can process more than the Athlon. You can throw Celeron into the mix as well and I think it has slightly less processing capacity than the Athlon.

I think this statement is a little extreme. The Celeron will handle database activity, but will load down faster than the Athlon, which will load down faster than the Pentium. I don't believe your performance will be twice as good going from a Athlon to a Pentium. You could do a search on the processors and find some statistics, and get some reliable numbers, but the bottom line is really how many accounts/sites you want to put on a server. It seems like most hosts will load them until the CPU load is constantly high and outages occur, before they start moving accounts/sites to another server.
