Steve, It sounds a little underpowered to me. But you should probably just try it if it's what you've got. There are some Zope benchmarks contributed by BwanaZulia at http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/zope_benchmarks/benchmarks.html. BTW, questions like this are probably better posed to the main Zope mailing list (zope@zope.org).

Hi I'm looking at running Linux RH 6.1 and zope on a dual processor P90 Dell powerEdge server, 128Mb RAM. Is this a viable proposition for hosting, I'm not anticipating millions of hits?? I realise it's not the fastest thing in town but for a good price it gives me a RAID drive for reliability.
Does Zope take advantage of the Dual processors? What sort of load will it handle, hits etc? What improvement is there over one processor?
This box can be upgraded to P166's what would be the improvement? Is anyone out there running Linux on Dell EX590-2, can I expect lots of problems or easy to set-up?
Pointers to sites with more information would be appreciated.
I haven't got it yet, so want to find out more before I waste to much time/energy/money on it.
Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.
Steve.
