Ramon, that is almost exactly one of my configurations, except I'm using
Linux and the Alpha has less memory. I use the Apache and Psql
optimisations that people here keep suggesting (and I keep meaning to add
to the docs.) However, my load is almost exclusively artificially
generated, and not very well at that :-)

If you compare with Odhiambo's hardware, I'd say what you have is probably
faster, except the hard drives may have a bit slower spin rate.
