Tenchusatsu, For sites like Amazon (that face the challenges of scalability) there are hundreds if not thousands that can that are barely accessed. In corporate environment, you have many servers out there that are being used by a handful of users, infrequently, with minimum load. I see a lot of PPro 200 servers out there, some dual with 128 MB of RAM. I can't help but wonder if the ever increasing power of the CPUs will not slow down the growth of the exotic (100,000 to multimillion) servers. Your single CPU server based on 1 GHz CPU with GB+ RAM can outrun a good percentage of the exotic servers from just 1 or 2 years ago. As far as the business requirements of the corporations deploying these servers, I don't think the requirements grow at the same exponential rate as the power of the microprocessors. I do a lot ow work with databases, and I find it amazing how much you can get out of single CPU box with sufficient memory. But you won't find many companies advertising this. Joe
