 * Hi,
 * I´m building 6 sites in wordpress:
    – A small local newspaper – A local magazina–
   A places directory – A simple blog – A buddypress comunity I want to optimize
   my sites all that i can without losing a lot of the features. I was thinking 
   about getting a dedicated server to serve them. I estimate that i´m going to 
   have around 40.000 unique visitor and around a 400.000 pageviews/month in total(
   all sites, not on a site).
 * Will this server do?
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Dual Core RAM4 GB DDR2Hard disc2
   x 400 GB SATA II
 * I don´t know if there is some sort of calculation i could do to figure this out.
 * I can post here a more specific details about my sites performance in terms of
   queries:
 * Newspaper – Homepage: 128 Valid queries. None slow, none invalid – Memory: 36.6MB.
   
   Newspaper – Articles: 147 Valid queries. None slow, none invalid -Memory: 35.5MB.
 * Magazine – Homepage: queries: 135, none defective, none > 0.500 sec. Memory: 
   28.7MB
    Magazine – Articles: queries: 130, none defective, none > 0.500 sec. 
   Memory: 28.8MB
 * Places directory – Homepage: DB queries: 471, 3 defective, 0 slow (> 0.500 sec)
   Memory: 37.3MB
    Places directory – Articles:DB queries: 220, 3 defective, 0 slow(
   > 0.500 sec) Memory: 34.2MB
 * Buddypress:- DB queries: 191, 1 defective, 0 slow (> 0.500 sec) Memory: 28.9MB
 * Thanks,

 * Hi James,
    Thanks for the link, but it dosen’t really answer my question.
 * I already know about optimizing, queries, minify, and all that.
    I´m already 
   running w3tc and caching everything i can. The sites get good grades in yslow
   but still need more optimization. I do intend on making my sites the best they
   can be in this areas, but…does this server work for what i want? To much power?
   Need more ram?
