Plenty. Though my particular ones may not work for you, and vice
versa. In my case, the evaluation criteria is time in service.

Prioritize: RAM, Drive space, drive speed, network connection speed,
CPU. Of course, that implies you don't run SQL, Exchange, ISA, DNS,
SMTP/POP or anything else on the system, since you'd have mentioned it
if you did.
>We have web server logs for over a year now and generally the site is slow we do need an hardware upgrade but to what extent is the question
"The siite is slow" doesn't equate to "the hardware is in need of an
upgrade". No matter what processor speed you choose, a site run over
a 56K dial-up connection will always be slow. Just as no matter how
much memory you add, a site with poor coding will also always be slow.
You need to identify the bottleneck and fix it. Throwing new hardware
at it might work. Or it might be a useless expense.
