A frined of mine planning to offer WebHosting Services using RedHad Linux 7.0
Will offer 50-350 MB for the customers. For 100-250 Customers. Also CGI & single SQL Server.

Is it better to use Athlon (TB) or Pentium III for such services, as a server?
Is 512 MB Enough, or 1024 is better?
Do you advise us to use ECC RAM? or no need for it?
What would be the correct size for the HD?

Thanks a lot in advance

Firstly, I think this is the wrong place to ask that question and get a firm concise answer, without having some flame war start(unless you were trolling for such a reaction?).

I think you should head on over to anantech and look at the way they have set up their servers. You may have to search for the article. They use both Intel and Amd products in their servers. The article explains it quite nicely.

Trying to stop a flame war...

For a busy server a dual processor rig would be usefull with lots of memory. That makes intel the cheapest way to go.

For a basic, get off your feet server, go with an athlon since their dual processor boards are going to be really expensive and I don't think you can buy one right now. For you I'd stick to Intel for now. You could just pop in one processor in a dual board and add the next one when you feel you are ready.

Get the most memory you can afford. I'd stick to a gig+ if you can.

For the HD, get a really fast one. SCSI prefferably.

I'm sure other people have more insight on this, but as far as processors go, it's more a matter of AMD not supporting Dual processors right now at a reasonable price (if you can even get one shipped).
