What are the BEST servers today?

After finding out our company's been bamboozled by one of "the best" in the industry by running our site on dual 450mhz machines, we are looking for new servers to run our site.

We're looking into a maxed out Xserve from Apple for a quick fix, and possibly a Superdome down the line.

What is the ultimate, solid-as-a-tank, Formula 1 performance server that we can purchase today?

Thanks in advance!

The super resellerz package with 2gigs of ram is a significant beast of a server.

If you would provide a bit more information we could give you some more targeted advice.

Another great server would be the Dual 2600 PRO from www.serverbeach.com

2x Athlon 2600+
2x Xeon 2.4

both with 1 gig of ram would be a nice server.

But I'm sure if you wanted to spend some money, you could go wiuth the quad servers out there

I did a quick search on google for sites that provide them as basic packages here are a few:

http://servers.aplus.net
http://www.2clones.com/dedicated_unix.html
http://www.xgforce.com/eService.html

but keep in mind like we do, most companies will do custom servers not on there packages. We require contracts though if we have to build a custom server. I'm aware of 5 other providers that will also do this with contracts.

as you see thugh quad servers will set you back alot. Unless you decide to colo. I'd stick to dual dedicated servers. Unless there is a need for quad.

Though as a businessman, I'd like to offer you a quad server :-p
