RE: [cobalt-developers] Raq3i options

["Erica Douglass" <erica@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since no one answered your JSP question, I will. We have some 3s running
as RaQ4s. For some reason, only the RaQ4 OSR CD would work, and not the
4i or 4r CDs. Anyway, the 4s are fine serving JSP pages, but won't take
a very high load of visitors... the initial compilation of the JSP page
puts the RaQ at 100% CPU usage for a good 30 seconds or so. 

Also, to run the Java stuff, you'll need 512MB RAM. Run it with less and
you'll end up running the server out of memory and rendering the server
unbootable until you put more memory in. The 4s take standard PC100
SDRAM, which is easy to find and cheap to buy.

If you're interested in getting colocation a bit cheaper and in a really
neat datacenter, drop me a line. We do colocation and we specialize in
RaQs.
