great for the future if the traffic increases but way overkill . i have a compaq proliant 1600 server that is now about 8 years old. it is dual P3 600mhz with about 1 gig ram. it ran a Bankers Trust site for 2 weeks while we got parts to fix their server which was of lower spec. i used to install servers for the Gold Coast City Council only 2 years ago when i worked for HP. none of there servers were more than 4 gig... mostly prolialt DL380 G4 and DL360 G4 these have more than enough grunt to do file serving,print serving as well as your database even if you got 200 hits / day...... i hate to see people waste money when it isnt necessary . try the HP or DELL websites for small business servers....... shop around. ask for a second opinion/quote from another company....
