This is actually the third incarnation of the server. I finally have some real hardware. It no longer seems to be constantly using swapped memory and it actually spends some time idling. Here are the new specifications.

Hardware
Processor : AMD AthlonTM XP 1700+ running at 1464.46 MHz
Memory : 511.94 MB (487.61 MB available)
Hard Drive : Hitachi 298.09 GB, IBM 57.27 GB
SCSI Info : QUANTUM DLT7000 running at 20.000MB/s

Software
Operating System : FreeBSD 7.1
Server Software : Apache 2.2.13; PHP 5.2.11 with Suhosin-Patch
Database : MySQL 5.0.87-log
Other Packages : ImageMagick 6.5.5.10

Other Information
Uptime : 6 days, 20 hours, 16 minutes, 51 seconds
Server Load1 : 1-Minute Average: 0.01, 5-Minute Average: 0.01, 15-Minute Average: 0.00

The total cost for all the software is absolutely nothing. I have built other computers where I can claim that, but they weren't entirely on the up-and-up.



1 This is number of processes competing for processor time averaged over the duration specified.
