Apple's Mac Mini: Half the server at a quarter of the price
Thursday February 3, 2005
Load test are performed by Tenon and Macminicolo.net on a low-end Mac mini to validate their claim that the Mac mini was a suitable web server platform for 80% of the web sites on the market.
The tests measured the performance of a 1.25Ghz Mac mini compared to a 1.8Ghz dual-G5. Both servers were running Mac OS X 10.3.7 and the Apache 2.0.50 web server under iTools. The Mac mini had been outfitted with an extra 256MB of memory, otherwise the system was a stock release from Apple. The dual-G5 also had 512MB of memory and a 140GB disk - also a readily available stock Apple configuration for about $2145.
