[TriLUG] Question about hardware

[Matt Pusateri]

How much ram does this box have?  You may want to watch the box  
through something like "top" to see what is eating up memory/cpu.   
Which may allow you to make decisions on what needs to change, maybe  
you don't need a new box, just some tweaking. Be sure to look at it  
over different periods so that you get an accurate picture of what is  
normal.  Does Dspam use SA rules, if so depending on your rule set,  
you'll chew up memory.   Also things like Clamav being initiated on  
demand versus being contacted in daemon mode, may have effects as well.
