<br>at it as the big solution for drupal scalability, but I think it's overkill<br>until you exceed certain thresholds. For instance, with one of our larger<br>sites, we hit over 1 million page views a month using a P4 dual processor
<br>system with a minimal amount of RAM. </blockquote></div><br>
You're right...clustering is not the be all and end all of scalability,
but it does offer other benefits around redundancy and failover. But a
single 8-way Sun box is going to look pretty good, too.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Boris Mann<br><a href="http://www.bryght.com">http://www.bryght.com</a><br>Vancouver 778-896-2747 / San Francisco 415-367-3595<br>IM <a href="mailto:boris_mann@jabber.org">
