I need to buy a computer to run SAS on. Would like
suggestions as to specifications. I have a budget of
probably 5k to 6k. Regular desktop computer.
I am an academic researcher, probably the biggest
databases I would be looking at are the in 10 million
observation range...
Dual processors? SCSI? How much RAM? RAID? Cooling
issues? Backup?
I have some experience building my own, but I am
guessing that I will have to go through a vendor that
is associated with the university. So please keep
that in mind.
I'm going to be pulling the trigger on this ASAP.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Arthur
