My brother just sold me his old gaming machine. It got about 7000 Passmark points, 4 cores, max. 32 GByte of ram and it's silent enough so I could run it 24 hours a day. mediawiki2latex currently needs 12 GByte for a 5000 pages book. So it could do 3 or 4 books in parallel. So if you need to convert anything or want an other mediawiki2latex server to be made available just let me know. Yours Dirk
