View 8 Repliesmy Budget is only 200$ Do you think i can get this server with this Budget?
Dual CPU 5504 Nehalem Xeon setup
New Nehalem architecture, 2x quad core 2ghz cpus (8 total cores at 2ghz)
16gb DDR3
4x 73gb 15k rpm sas (no need raid )
1TB (over 1GB PORT)
Windows 2008 Data-center
I ask webnx if they can provide me this but NO reply and i am waiting to see what is they are reply
what you think? is that too low?
I am not such a server savy. But i hope to see your answer to this.
I ordered a server from IWEB.
Their consultant was cool and offered me a deal.
I was offered
2x Dual Xeon Quad Core Clovertown 1.6Ghz
4 gig ram
2x500 hd
RAID 1
1500 GB banwith
Cpanel/WHM + centos 5
auto rebort port
But when i got the server it said:
Dual Xeon Harpertown 2.0GHz
the rest was the same.
Now my question to you all fine folks is
Is Dual Xeon Harpertown 2.0GHz a quad core?
and if so is it better then the 2x Dual Xeon Quad Core Clovertown 1.6Ghz?
I did look for info and saw that hapertown was newer then clowertown, but i am lost here.
Please help me understand in details about the differences. Their consultant says its a QUAD core, but in email it does not say Dual Xeon Harpertown 2.0GHz and that its alot better then the clovertown he first offered me which was a quad core..
server is all decided on. Now the processors are my last choice before picking a colo.
But the processors are confusing. There are other posts on here talking about the Dempsey, Woodcrest and the Clovertown. The research I have done on this has told me to stay away from the Dempsey. So not I need to decide between the Woodcrest 5150 (2x 2.0G) and the Clovertown E5320 (4x 1.86G).
Can someone shed some light on this two and explain in plain English which one would be the better of the two? I have read where some people say the Woodcrest would be the better choice and others say the Clovertown would be the better choice. We know the Clovertown has 4 cores and the Woodcrest has 2 cores.
Could someone explain which would be the better choice and why that would be the better choice?
Just saying it had 4 cores does not always mean it is better from what I haver read.
I'm planning on getting a new dedicated server from SoftLayer. I'm interested in the Xeon 5100 or 5300 series. Which one is better:
Dual Processor Quad Core Xeon 5310 - 1.60GHz (Clovertown) - 2 x 8MB cache
or
Dual Processor Dual Core Xeon 5140 - 2.33GHz (Woodcrest) - 2 x 4MB cache
Both cost the same.
Also, I heard that Apache is capable of taking advantage of multi-core processors (such as the dual proc quad core Clovertown) but that cPanel does not compile Apache in a correct way for it to function properly (efficient) on such machines. Is this true? Can this be solved? Does this mean I have to compile Apache manually?
Web hosting is a competitive business with thousands of providers in the market. Success as a web hosting provider often comes down to maximizing the number of customers we can support for each additional server added to the infrastructure. To improve our success in this equation, it becomes critically important to find and use the correct machine/severs - all for excellent prices.
So friends I was just guessing an approx. no. of clients I will be able to accommodate per Intel-Nehalem-Server, (depending on the server resource utilization).
Which will be a better choice? 5430's CPU speed, bus speed, cache and price beats 5520 easily, while 5520 is only better due to the advantage of HT, which I don't think it improves performance much...
Intel Xeon Harpertown 5430
CPU Speed - 2.66GHz
Bus Speed - 1333MHz
Cache - 1 x 12MB
Intel Xeon Nehalem 5520
CPU Speed - 2.26GHz + Hyper-Threading
Bus Speed - 1066Mhz
Cache - 1 x 8MB
whether I should go with the Xeon 3060 or the Clovertown 5310. Both come with 2GB RAM, the 5310 costs $44 more. But then I don't think I can fully utilize all the resources. Would the extra $44 be better spent towards upgrading the memory to 4GB? It's $50 for another 2GB.
So it's Xeon 3060 with 4GB of RAM VS. Clovertown 5310 with 2GB of RAM for about the same price.
When it comes to CPUs I am pretty clueless, so excuse any silly comments here.
I am little confused by the performance benefits vs price of quad core and duale core processors. I am hoping some of you experts can clarify this for me.
For example, on newegg they have the following:
Intel Xeon 5160 Woodcrest 3.0GHz for $877
and the
Intel Xeon E5345 Clovertown 2.33GHz for $879
Now though the Clovertown has a lower processing speed, I get to run 4 processes simultaneously and have an aggregate total processing power of 9.32 ghz.
On the other hand, the Woodcrest proc allows me to run 2 processes simultaneously and I have an aggregate total processing power of 6 ghz.
Now I am probably reading this wrong, but why would you purchase the woodcrest when the price is essentially the same and benefits are much greater?
On a last note, do programs such as mysql and apache 1.3 take advantage of the multiprocessors?
I am thinking of buying new servers and I do not know which option most appropriate for me.
Both configurations are Supermicro servers.
2 x Xeon E5420 "Harpertown" 2,5GHz
24GB FB-DIMM DDR2 ECC
Chipset Intel 5000V
vs
1 x Intel Xeon W3520 "Nehalem" 2,66GHz HT
24GB DDR3 ECC
Chipset Intel 5500
As far as I know WebNX was the first to offer E55xx on 04/01/2009. Search for it in the ads forum.
SL's press release was on 04/06/2009

Does anyone have an opinion on the Intel Dual Xeon Quad Core Clovertown versus the AMD Dual Core Dual Opteron? I'm assuming the Xeon is better. I recently put in an order for one, and I'm hoping I made the right decision (Yes I know it would have made more sense to ask before ordering but that's not how I roll) .

Which one is correct?
