I faintly remember when around the turn of the century the Irish equivalent, HEANET put in an Intel Itanic server for a similar purpose (or was it two?). I hope someone will correct me if I remember wrong but it had an absurd amount of memory, like 32GB.

ALthough it seems I remember wrong https://hyse.org/pdf/scaling-apache-handout.pdf

> a Dell 2650, with 2 2.4 Ghz Xeon processors, 12Gb of memory

but still, there was Merced there, it's just been so long ...
