Hi all -

I've developed a Mapscript based application for a customer. He want's to
set up his own 80x86 based web-server for deployment. What kind of Intel og
AMD bassed hardware is optimal for MapServer use ?. 

The application is based on win2k, apache 2.0., php, mapscript and with data
in tab files and a alphanumerical data stored in a MySql database (on the
same server). 

The server will only be used for this Mapscript apllication. It wil be used
by relatively few users, but each user will result in a fairly large amount
of back-end dataproccesing.

The questions:

CPU - As fast as possible, but which type ??  Intel or AMD ? . Single or
dual CPU ? 
Harddisk - SCSI or perhaps Serial ATA ??

regards Bo Thomsen
