The specs below are for my own machine at
a CoLo so I can build the box myself with
any amount of RAM and size of HD's
My question's are

1> The 10Mbit bandwith I dont get, bandwith
     is normaly like 3GB pm I understand that
     part ok and I guess they dont charge you
     if you go over your bandwith, but whats
     the 10Mbit is it good or bad ?

2> Would a server such as below be able to
    host 10 Dbisam servers.
 a.. RackMount or Mini Tower
 b.. 10Mbit un-metered Bandwidth
 c.. 100Mbits internet connection
 d.. 16 IP Addresses
Thanks Rita

I'd say "unimportant". What really counts is latency.

No idea. What CPU, ho much RAM, what kind of disk? And you need only 1 IP
address to host as much servers as you want. All with different ports of
course.

What the CoLo guys say on Latency   (see link)
We operate a carrier class 20Gbit network with pan-European peering and
transit from the likes of Level(3) and Tiscali to name a few, ensuring your
server is always connected with the lowest possible latency. We can also
offer full firewall protection for the utmost security of your data.

Hm. 10 MBit could be slow if multiple users get a big bunch of data. In one
of my systems, the user gets some mb for a EQGrid - no other way because
they want full config possibilities, grouping, filtering etc. With 10 Mbit
LAN, they need about 5 seconds or so to load. If you don't have such
scenarios, 10 MBit, is good enough.

CPU: go dualcore, AMD or P4 (I'd say AMD). 2-4 GB RAM (it's cheap). The
fastest disk you can get, or better two, and a RAID controller with software
for automatic rebuild. Make it three disks, with automatic rebuild on the
spare disk. Some mobos have these features. graphic card? Unimportant, you
can take a board with integrated gpu. GBit LAN on board is standard right
now.
