That's what I was thinking. I'm building a dedicated single processor app server with 2Gig of phyical ram. My judgement is to give it 2Gig of swap as well. I'll be making PDF's on the fly and these PDF's are in the double digit MB's. Pretty soon after that, I'm building a web server, dual processor and 4Gig of ram. I'm almost thinking of cluster but I don't have enough time with it to feel comfortable about it. Once the PDF server hit's 50% capacity, I'll be able to afford a dual processor app server to replace it and will most likely go with 4Gig of ram.
