RE: Speed on Raq
We originally setup our two stores on Cobalt RaQs. The performance was piss
poor! These boxes have a non-Intel processor called a MIPS and it's about
the equivalent of a Pentium 100 MHz. CGI-Wrap is turned on by default and
Minivend will fail, but the big kicker is that CyberCash (and most other
credit card verification programs)encryption/decryption won't run on it.
This is because their programs were compiled for linux on the Intel
platform. If you plan on having an extremely low usage store front, the RaQ
may be a good place for you, but we ended up co-locating our own servers
with our ISP.
I have a Compaq Prolient 450Mhz Server with RAID-5 ($7,000.00) for one and a
http://www.hitech-usa.com/ 450Mhz Server ($2,000.00) for the other with both
running RedHat v6.0. Both stores smoke now. I would guess performance is up
by at least 70%.
Good luck...
