Hello,
I am planning to rent a new server that has four cores (11ghz)/4GB RAM. The other option is to rent a server with multi-processor and multi-cores (18ghz)/8GB RAM. Both would run Windows Server 2008 Web edition (x64 bit).
I will be running web-sites written in ASP.net and some other sites running on PHP (FastCGI) and ColdFusion (IIS6 Compatability ISAPI module). The server would host both MySQL and SQL Server 2008 web edition.
Can somebody explain to me if my web applications on IIS will actually benefit from the powerful systems? What default settings I should change?
What should be done to completely harness the power of multi-core or multi-processor server on PHP, ColdFusion, IIS and MySQL?
I'm not so worried about SQL Server 2008, cos I know it just rocks.
But any tweaks on any of the mentioned servers would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Best
Sameer
