A friend of mine admins a webserver. Serves almost exclusively static pages, max 1k hits
per day. They are looking at moving to a rackmount system. What does he spec? Eight core
Xeon with 96 gigs of RAM...
ROFL!!! These kids. Sigh.

Anybody who knows enough to have a good modern computer that can run
current Windows, can tell you that they get slower and slower. Rebooting
will help a little, and re-installing the operating system helps, but
eventually the computer doesn't work because it slows down too much. And,
as they get older, they have TOO MANY viruses.
