Though in this instance if that PC is doing nothing but serving up a page the difference may not be all that noticeable, obviously the difference in performance will be more visable the busier the server/website becomes. For me the page loaded very quickly and the images slowly as others have said, to me this would be most likley look like it's bandwidth restriced for this single page rather than CPU/Server.
Don't forget that not really all that many years ago half the web was probably powered by PII200's or at least Dual PII200's :) .. I know of some companies only just starting to replace their PII servers in the last 12 months. |

| Processing time on the databse will also be quicker on a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 over a 200Mhz Pentium 2 especially with almost 10 times more Ram. I still believe this will contribute significantly. Based on testing I have personally done myself on machines I have at work that have similar specs. |

| If DB's etc are involved and running on the same box then yeah for sure, though I just installed an old PII200 this week actually (it's the only spare server we could find at work) with W2K and SQLServer on it and for the smallish application I'm running it on it seems to zip along as quickly as when I was testing it on my own local server. |

| I would imagine that seven is going to have the database on the webserver as well. Your testing would not be a good benchmark since you are the only one connecting to it with a max of 1 hop correct? |

| Actually no I'm accessing it via a VPN going via the internet to a corporate server and then another couple of hops after that becuase it on a customer site. about 9 hops in total. |

| you can have a boatload of websites, it all really depends on the amount of connections. |

I guess my question was how many websites would you want to run (on windows server) using DSL.
Since using windows server eliminates the worries of too many connections software wise, is their an issue running multiple websites with a DSL connection? If so, what would be a good theoretical max number of websites I would want to run?

| then I refer back to my original answer, it all really depends on the amount of connections. I wouldn't look at it as number of websites you can run, but the number of connections to all of the web sites. it also depends on what each one of those connections are downloading. so in short, the X number you are looking for it a difficult one to gauge. |
