put to good use elsewhere then do so.
Right now of the 8 Pentium IV class machines, we have:
2 at 4GB (3.5 actual) for squids
2 at 2GB for webservers
4 at 1GB for whatever
My feeling is that this is a reasonable configuration to start with
and now that it's toally no big deal for me to switch them around (as
opposed to paying Jason's salary for a whole day to just drive down to
San Diego and back, plus usually a hotel stay), we needn't worry too
much about it.
I think that the 4x1GB machines would be perfectly servicable as
webservers if we needed them. At least 2 of them will be used for
mail and DNS, I suppose, and that certainly isn't RAM intensive.
