Im looking at new servers for Dolphin at the moment and am wandering what are the actual requirements for Dolphin...
Some hosts seem to offer relatively low spec servers for the same price as others with high spec!
Does anyone have any info on Dolphins use of things like dual core cpu, quad core, multiple core etc...
Also, what with Dolphin would be pushing the need for large amounts of RAM?
I have a dual core Intel E6600 running 2.4ghz, 4GB DDR2, dedicated server which seems to do a good enough job at the moment, not sure how it would handle a site with 20k+ members as yet!
With a site that is NOT running chat rooms, cams, video uploads, but focuses more on forums for members interaction, is there a need for much higher spec than this?
Would Dolphin when used in this way actually need multiple CPU's?
Would the membership increase push the database to utilize high power CPUs and 8GB RAM or is this OTT?
