The Egg a Tizen Powered Personal Web Server

That's a quad core CPU. You could handle, in theory, twice as many users as MangoLassi can. That would like be tens of millions of monthly hits without breaking a sweat.

@mlnews Even with 1G of ram?

That's a really cool idea, but they should have made it cheaper. The atom is way overkill, I'm 100% positive you could get the job done with a cheap broadcom SOC or similar for way less money.

If you had a large database to load into it, yeah, more might be good. But serving web pages you could easily do a few hundred million a month with 400MB of RAM if they were static pages or from a small database.

A little ARM would have been nice.

@mlnews still overkill but absolutely a cheaper better idea. I'm wondering if someone got some Intel dev cash.

Some of y'all seem to forget the early 'naughties, running webservers on actual junk.

@MattSpeller Nah. My Pops and I run a Web Server, and IRC server and NAT setup for our network on NT 4 (all in the same box)... Thing sounded like a freight train, looked like frankenstein, and ran like a freight train.

This is actually surprisingly powerful for what they are doing with it. Quad cores for a little thing like that? I wonder if it ever gets utilized in any serious way.
