We are comparing these 2 systems:
Intel Quad Core Q9300
4x2.5 GHz
250GB Sata HD
2 GB of ram
vs.
P4 3.0 w/ HT
250GB Sata HD
2 GB of RAM
Thoughts? Would the quad core blow the other away? We are looking to take 2 of the P4 and condense them into 1 of the Q9300...thoughts?
Has anyone done something like this?
How well does the Q9300 perform?
I'll be making the move from shared to VPS in the next month. I've looked at both Liquidweb and Zone.net -- they both look great but I'm not sure which one to go with!
Zone.net offers more memory with there VM200 plan compared to LW VPS1 plan (768mb vs 384mb). But LW also offers twice the storage.
My sites are for the most part static. I have a couple blogs and forums but not a whole lot traffic. One of my clients has several flash videos.
Is there a dramatic difference going from 384mb of memory to 768mb?
Any suggestions or personal experience with either service?

what modules I should use in my httpd.conf file. Here's the modules that I currently have enabled / disabled. The site is running specifically off PHP. There is no need for CGI, ASP, or any other languages (to my knowledge). The negotiation module is enabled,. It does not need to be to my knowledge.
However, when I disabled it Apache would not restart. Could someone give some details as to which directives need to be disabled for negotiation to be disabled. Also, does anyone know if negotiation is essential. It is not to my knowledge. Suggestions and comments are much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your hard work and experience being as it's not costing me anything. I will do my best to return the favor.

I am noticing that some hosts are now offering duel-core Atom Processors. Anyone have any experance with this (as a cPanel Hosting Server)
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy company is on the market for a new dedicated provider/server and I need to know what the best processor is to go with?
I'm looking for something in the multi-processor/multi-core range, basically an enterprise server that can later be load balanced or clustered in the near future.
Please only experienced professionals with this server range reply.
This is possibly not the best place for this question but none the less, I am giving it a shot.
How much better are Xeon processors than Core 2 Duo processors? What goes into the brand difference? I know that they're built on the same architecture, but I'm unsure as to which is better.
I've got two choices, both Intel processors built on the Kentsfield Core 2 architecture.
Stats seem exactly alike, except one difference: the Core 2 Duo processor has a 9x multiplier (2.4GHz), while the Xeon processor has a 8x multiplier (2.13 GHz). I really see no advantage in taking the Xeon processor, which costs more. Multiplier difference shouldn't make a big deal.
So, anybody know what goes into the "Xeon" brand these days? The exact model numbers, by the way, are Q6600 for the Core 2 Duo and X3210 for the Xeon.
I am looking at some options for a server and have a dual processor question.
I am looking at a server with two Dempsey 5050 processors.
My question is this.
Is it possible to put two Dempsey 5050 processors in a server and turn one of them off so it can not be used?
I know some are going to say why do i want to do this and I might as well explain it now to get it out of the way. My colo will not let me keep space parts on hand and I have a client that may want to single Dempsey 5050 processor in his server and I would like to keep one Dempsey 5050 on hand as a spare for my server and other servers that use the Dempsey 5050 processor. I figured if put one on a board that supports two Dempsey 5050's and turn it off it would be like keeping a spare on hand.
I'm contemplating whether to get a quad core high clock speed OR 2x quad core lower clock speed processor for my rack server.
The question boils down to.. Does Apache, PHP, and MySQL support multi-threading? Will having a bunch of cores just be a waste if high-traffic web hosting is the primary goal?
I run a PHP/MySQL intensive shopping cart.
I have a new server. Is there any way, from the command line if possible, to tell how many processors and cores my new server has?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've spend some time today in reading about different Intel based processors. I'm learning fast (I didn't know too much about chips... untill now ) but there is something I still need to ask, since I didn't find an answer. So:
Which Quad-Core Xeon processor (from low cost ones) do you like more?
... Kentsfield, Yorkfield, Clovertown, Clovertown" (low voltage), Harpertown, Harpertown (low voltage).
From waht I saw I could guess that Clovertown is the most popular...?
"The purpose of irqbalance is distribute hardware interrupts across processors on a multiprocessor system in order to increase performance."
If I'm running a Xeon Quad, do I really need irqbalance running?
