That's still not enough information to be useful since there can be several orders of magnitude in difference in the load of servers like that. I have a similar vintage machine with 4 gigs RAM and 6 scsi drives running 3 low-usage servers under vmware server plus a slightly busier mail server on the native host, but that wouldn't work for a busy domain, especially if you are doing spam scanning on the email. In my case I was moving stuff that ran on older pentium 3 boxes with 1 gig RAM so the VM's were about equivalent. You'll have trouble doing much with just 2 SATA drives, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
