We are starting to look for new motherboards for LGA775 1333 MHz FSB Intel Core 2 Duo chips and I'm wondering what boards other people are using. Support for the new Core 2 Duo E6xxx/E8xxx series chips is a must.
Our qualifications for boards is that they must work out of the box (or very near to out of the box) with CentOS/RHEL 5 and must fit in a SuperMicro SC512 case with no modification (meaning: working NIC & low profile audio).
Has anyone been using a 1333 FSB Core 2 Duo board in the SC512L that will fit without modification? Looking for something for mass use, I know some of the server boards will fit fine, wondering about some of the ASUS or Foxconn boards.

Been tricky trying to guestimate so some numbers to compare would be a huge help.

I tried:
Intel
Gigabyte
Asus
and DFI
But all those either does recognize the nic card or wont recognize a a sata drive.
Does anyone know of a motherboard where CentOS will recognize the nic and sata drive?

Which one you suggest for running database server and VPS's?
Dual Xeon3ghz 1mb dual core vs Quadcore 6600 2.4ghzx4 core 8mb.
We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
What is your opinion?
3i want to buy new erver and i have choice of the fallowing
AMD X4 Quad Core 9500
RAM : 4096 MB
Disk Drives: 2 X 250 GB SATA
and
Intel Quad Core Q9300 4x2.5 GHz
RAM : 2048 MB
Disk Drives: 2 X 250 GB SATA
both in the same price . so i need some advice for who are the best performance and the ideal for webhosting service.
we are planning to have 1 more dedicated server and also planning to collocate.
Core 2 Quad 6700 [ OR ] Core 2 Quad Q9450 | Which is better
I cant decide between
Dual Processor Single Core
Dual Processor Single Core Xeon - 3.00GHz (Irwindale)
Or
Single Processor - Quad Core?
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield)
My site needs "raw" processing power due to the applications it runs. ram (over 2 gb) and hdd are not that important to me.
could someone point me in the right direction.
Which is a better option? Both priced same, I know with the Xeon 5310 the possibility of upgrading to dual cpu's.
Quote:
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield) - 2 x 4MB cache
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 5310 - 1.60GHz (Clovertown) - 1 x 8MB cache
Which would give higher performance in a shared web hosting environment?
I am going to buy a new server and I am unsure of which route to take.
Basically the cost is identical for a Dell server with:
1 AMD Operton Dual Core 2.4Ghz
OR
2 AMD Operton Dual Core 2.0Ghz
What is the felling? Does the 4 cores out weight the extra 400 mhz per processor, but only having 2 cores?
The server will be running:
Windows 2003 Standard x32
Plesk 8.2
IIS 6.0 [ Application Pools Setup ]
MySQL
Microsft SQL Express 2005 [ONLY CAN USE 1 CPU/CORE]
MailEnable
Can my applications even handle/utilize four cores?
from the title, which one is better for a server?

there site looked ok, thats why I signed up, but I keep getting spam from a CSalter.
Anyone ever heard of these guys, saw someone make a recommendation for them and it looks like they are resellers for a few places including softlayer. Seems odd for a recommendation when no one has ever heard of them, so just seeing if anyone has.

View 5 Replies View RelatedJust wanted to post a quick note for those looking to get a server from pc-core.net.
In pre sales talks they told me that they could have a server available to me within 48 hours of receiving payment.
On their website at [url] it says "Your server will be provisioned, secured, and delivered within 72 hours of purchase."
This was important to me as I at that time only had 1 week left on my contract with my current provider.
2 days after I paid for the server, and 3 days before deadline, I contacted the support and asked for the server as I needed to migrate.
They said they'd set it up "ASAP" and that they would do the migration for me as I wouldn't be available the following days.
Today is deadline and my current provider is billing me for another month. And I still, 5 days after payment, have no server available from pc-core.net.
I don't know if this was just a glitch in their services or if it's the way they normally conduct their business.
I asked about the server yesterday and they have had all of friday to produce a response. It has now been 18 hours and not a word.
I have asked for my money back as they offer a Money Back Guarantee on their website.
I don't know if that is a promise they take as lightly as the promise to deliver but will keep you posted.

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow a webhosting compay name PC-core.net troubled me.
If you have forgotten the case; here is brief overview what happened,
I tired ordering new dedicated box (was an offer) but on payment page they had problem. So few days later i told there was problem with payment page and couldn't pay. So they said now its fixed pay now then will setup a DEDICATED boy with PHP/Apache/MySQL configured with required libraries as i had told them. So I even ordered Cpanel/WHM along. Thought was a good deal.
I got an email saying will be setup in FEW HOURS.
Waiting more than 5-6 hours; when enquired about it didn't get any reply. So in haste FILED CHARGEBACK in paypal. As soon as i filed they started responding saying the server was on its way... HAD they told that before clearly I wouldn't have to take such step.
So, I closed the dispute.
When I got my box, It was missing many stuff.
FIRST EXTRA backup HDD that i ordered.
SECOND php was not configured to work along with MySQL and other libs were missing.
When asked about the issue; for HDD was told will be added in few hours later.
So If i had not checked properly, they would have simply charged for that and would have never installed it.
Now when asked about second case; they told its not their work to install all PHP/MySQL stuff...
Why did they promise in the first place about the thing they were never going to deliver?
Ok, I tried my hands with WHM/Cpanel to get MySQL and Php working but I failed.
So i thouhgt of cancelling the whole server itself. After getting rude replies regarding any support.
So I had made payment on 31st may 2008 for server. I cancelled server on 10th June 2008 (both from their client area and sending email to their support also).
I lost $120 bucks. Did get a lesson there are companies who promises BUT DONT DELIVER.
Now today suddenly I get an email from their support THAT I AM OBLIGED to pay another MONTH BILL too....
HERE IS EXACT EMAIL
=========================================
Thank you for choosing PC Core for your hosting needs. This email is a reminder that you currently have a balance with PC Core, due to an invoice that is been created. You are currently responsible for paying Invoice #5222 which was generated on 11/06/2008. This invoice is currently due on 25/06/2008.
According to our records, you currently pay with PayPal. Please submit this payment using the information below to avoid possible service interruption.
Invoice: 5222
Invoice Ammount: $119.90 USD
Invoice Due Date: 25/06/2008
================================
Now why am I still obliged to pay. WHEN I HAD paid on 31st may 2008 for SERVER till June 30th, 2008?
Are these guys trying to irritate me first by GIVING NO REFUND to me and sending such email EVEN AFTER I HAVE CANCELLED WITH THEM?
I have had the hardest time contacting pc-core.net and I just wanted to share my experiences with everyone. I ordered a dual-xeon 2.8ghz from pc-core.net last month. The first 20 days of service were fantastic, all of my support issues were handled promptly and with okay results. Afterwords things quickly went downhill. My server disconnected me from SSH about every 1 - 2 minutes. Every attempt I made to contact this company failed; numerous support tickets, 3 phone calls, 10 e-mails (All of which are down by the way. I get mail not sent errors for every one.). After a few days of dealing with this frustration I decided to attempt another support ticket (Don't try their live support system as they apparently never use it.). After many login attempts and a few recover password attempts I found that my account was either suspended or deleted. Just great, because I did not realize I was on a paypal subscription and had just been billed for this server. I immediately attempted every possible means to contact this company for a refund, including the phone number listed on their paypal account (This number doesn't even have an answering machine. I assumed it was because they were tired of hearing all of the complaints their dedicated customers were leaving.). Yesterday I received an e-mail stating my server would now be managed by burst.net. I received no warnings or prior e-mails, it was just spontaneous. After logging in to my burst.net account, another attempt for a refund, I found that my invoice had not been paid. I contacted burst.net's customer service and they confirmed my invoice for this month had not been paid. Awesome! After several days of ripping my hair out and being forced to open a Paypal dispute, which I have found can only be used for tangible products, I am still out $79.95.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Fedora Core 5 VPS currently running PHP 5.1.6, and wish to upgrade to 5.2 so I can run Magento eCommerce software.
I've managed to install yum, and after running yum update php, it just updates to 5.1.x still
My understanding of it currently is I need to point it to new repositories with 5.2 in?
I had a fantastic few months with Pc-core.net until my most recent invoice from them, the invoice is supposed to be issued around 16 days before the payment but in the end was issued around 2 days before the payment was due, making it difficult for payment. 36 after the payment is due I get an e-mail saying that my server has been terminated as of non-payment.
From their TOS:
There is a 72 hour grace period for payments. If we do not receive payment or any notice excusing you of payment within 72 hours of the invoice being due, we will suspend the account. There is a $10 reactivation fee for shared and reseller accounts overdue. For VPS and Dedicated Servers, there is a $50 reactivation fee. After 7 days overdue, the VPS will be destoyed.
I'm frankly shocked at this point, and contact them straight away.
Are replied to saying I have 4 hours left for payment otherwise server would be terminated indefinitely, (hard to get to the bank for payment at 2am in the morning my time).
We have the right to terminate service at anytime and we also have the right to change our TOS. We have done so recently since many abusers and late payers have come along. We do not want customers who are going to do that. It is bad foor our business and not worth the effort of suspending and then threatening to terminate.
Your invoice was created 14 days before it was due. You had enough time to pay it. I'm not sure what you are waiting for but I gave you 2 extra days.
Unless you can make this payment within the next 4 hours, the server will be terminated.
Regards,
Invoice was not created 14 days before it was due, they also had informed me in no way of any tos changes, although the TOS still states 72 hours for non-payment.
Several tickets the tech support rep sees the other ticket about the invoice not being generated until two days before due, claiming it was not linked to my account and had to search around for it.
He then said he would contact the datacenter about it and get the drive on hold, the drive gets placed on hold and I pay for the invoice being releaved that none of my data has gone missing.
A day later the tech replies saying the server is gone, that it has been used, that the drive which was placed on hold has been used even though I was assured that it would be OK and safe, even though my payment was in.

I'm quite upset that all my data for my sites have gone, I have backups for the scripts and some data but it is too hard to backup some of my sites, for example my image hosting site ImageDo.com (now down due to this) which gets 600-800 images uploaded each day and many changes made.
All my data has been lost, my image hosting site which meant a great deal to me is gone along with 14,000 of peoples images stored on it, not due to technical faults but due to Pc-core.net.
I read that quad cores, really aren't that useful since, most applicaitons aren't multi-threaded...*has no idea what that means*
If i used a quad core for a few websites that get about 20k visitors per day, would it noticeably increase perfermance compared to just a regular dual core?
(By anyone from Tag/PCcore I mean staff - too late to modify my title)
I don't know if you have been getting my ticket requests (which keep closing), but now I am getting annoyed here!
About two days ago, my VPS got terminated. I set it to terminate on the date of the next billing period (this coming 13th) - HOWEVER to my disgust it was terminated three days early! I had not finished removing my stuff from the VPS, and as a result, I have lost some of my site data.
Now to make it even more annoying, I have contacted Tagbridge now four times. Twice by email, once by the (strangely new) support system at support.tagbridge.com, and at Pc-core.net. And to cheek me off, any ticket I sent in got closed with no reply.
Now I am not happy, as you can gather me ranting on here, but here, I may be able to get answers, as I am getting none at Tagbridge/PC-Core.
If there is any staff of those companies here, please do speak up. I'm listening and waiting...
