Looking for host suggestions

[melbo]

RWH is pretty flexible in their hardware offerings as I've never actually had a setup that was listed on the sales page. In fact, we're in the process of migrating the OS, /home and SQL dbs to SSDs soon. My quad core CPU is not the latest but it seems to sit at idle most of the time -

Between the CPU, 16GB ECC RAM and the SSDs, I'm not sure what my users would gain by latest hardware- a few miliseconds?

In fact, we're in the process of migrating the OS, /home and SQL dbs to SSDs soon. My quad core CPU is not the latest but it seems to sit at idle most of the time - even when we get a spike of 1000 online at a time.

Between the AMD quad, 16GB ECC RAM and the SSDs, I'm not sure what my users would gain by latest hardware- a few miliseconds?

Good Setup having the 16gb ram and multiple SSD. SSD setups usually will notice increases. Unless coming from newer High MB Cache Drives or big RAID setups.
