Hi,

I am looking for a cheap dedicated server. (I was earlier happy with VPS, untill I realized that the disk I/O is not at all reliable and depends on what your neighbours are upto at the moment).

I was browsing through http://www.lowenddedi.net/the-database I don't understand memory speed and NIC speed columns at all. What will be their affect? Do I need to worry about them?

Also, can someone help suggest a provider, with following criteria:

1) Good & reliable Network

2) Price <= $60/month.

Thanks

JP
