Wow. You mean you have 2 servers with 12 scsi drives total?
We are using 12 GB RAM currently and I was under the impression we were using it all. But after finding out the truth today I am not quite sure if I bought the RAM for our needs or our hosts needs.
I have been looking at quad-core Xeon processor systems with a capacity of 16 GB or RAM minimum. RAID is also a must since we don't want to have any hard drive data loss if one fails. We don't really need drive space as much as drive performance. When we look at our stat pages like the pantheon and attack logs it has to handle a lot of data.
