We are going to buy 2 servers. One will be a Apache webserver (PHP, ZendPlatform) and other will run MySQL.
which one is better Dual Xeon or Dual Opteron? Below are the available options.
[url]
Dual Xeon E5335 Quad Core (Clovertown)
Dual Xeon E5420 Quad Core (Harpertown)
[url]
Dual Opteron 2212 - 4 CPU cores, 2.0 GHZ each
Dual Opteron 2344HE (Barcelona)
Dual Opteron 265
If you have experience with large mysql databases please share your thoughts about a new MySQL server. If all other parameters are the same, what is better for a 6-10 GB MySQL db, dedicated server?
Dual XEON or Dual Opteron 2212 Dual Core Processor?
Also, any advice on suggested RAM, partitioning, OS, etc. are welcome. Current MySQL version used is 4.1.21.
if these were decent pricing for the following dedicated servers:
DUAL QUAD-CORE XEON
2x XEON 5345 (8x 2.33ghz)
2GB FB-DDR2 667 RAM
250GB HDD
THIS CONFIG - $350 / mo
DUAL DUAL-CORE OPTERON 285
2x OPTERON 285 (4x 2.66ghz)
2GB DDR 400 REG/ECC
250GB HDD
THIS CONFIG - $250 / mo
SINGLE QUAD CORE Q6600
1x Core 2 Quad (4x 2.40ghz)
2GB DDR2 1066 RAM
250GB HDD
THIS CONFIG - $200 / mo
They are all listed as 10mbit unmetered and they show the following for their providers:
Qwest, MCI/Verizon, Savvis and BTN
Does it seem about right? I'm new to hosting and just wanted to make sure that it is decent pricing.
What's a better choice DUAL XEON 2.8GHZ 533FSB w/HT or Pentium D 925 3.0 Dual Core?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Which is the better performer?
(1x) Quad Core Intel Xeon X3220 2.40GHz 2x4M Cache
OR
(2x) Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216 2.4GHz 2X1MB Cache 1Ghz HyperTransport
This is for a web/application server running, Windows 2003 Server Professional, IIS, MySQL, MSSQL 2005 Express, Plesk 8.5. The price is about the same.
I want to colo dual xeon 3ghz/ 2 x 250 sata drive and Dual core 3.0 / 2 x250 Sata drive.
How much amp these server need? One colo company said 4amp for dual and 2 for dual core. Do I need 6amp for 2 servers? Rack comes with 15amp so I need half rack?
Which one is better: Dual Xeon 2.8GHz/HT vs Dual Core Xeon 2.4GHz (3060) for shared hosting with database intensive? Both with 4GB RAM.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust recently while browsing Newegg and Ebay, I realized I could build a great server consisting of Dual Opteron 270's to 280's with Dual HDD's, Great Asus 1U Barebones Setup , 4GB of Ram for about $650 if I went with used CPU's
Now I don't know about you, but that sounds like quite the bang for the buck. Also considering I have an aggregate bandwidth commitment, and only pay $50 per server I add to my rack, it really isn't a huge downside to say build three of these rather then one Harpertown setup.
Well at least this is my opinion. I was curious to see what others opinions are. I figure with the up and coming cloud technology, and the high prices of new technology, this would be a good investment, but do you think it is worth it to build outdated hardware? Would I be better off just building higher spec servers? How do these servers stack up to some of the newer technology? Are they still considered poewrful?
Anyways just thought I would get some opinions before I went and bought a bunch of outdated hardware
I'm thinking in changing my actual dedicated server, but I'm not sure if I will win with the change.
I use it for web hosting, but I am going to need a lot of Mysql use.
I also want to work with Flash Media Server or Red5, but I have the project stopped.
All are almost in the same price. What do you recommend me?
I have never touched Linux and my Server is Windows 2003, do you recommend me to change to Linux?

Does anyone know how a Pentium D 2.8ghz would stand up to a Dual Processor Opteron 246, when running gameservers?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhich is better for a dedicated server, if you have to choose one? any experience, reviews...
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm considering two hardware options for a server.
2 x AMD Opteron 265 (1.8 GHz clock speed x 4)
2 GB ram, 2 x 160 GB RAID 1, Windows 2008
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz clock speed x 2)
2 GB ram, 2 x 160 GB RAID 1, Windows 2008
Which hardware should be better to run a Mail server, IIS, MySQL and a few other http based services?
The X2 5000+ is around $8 more than the Dual Opteron 265 per month.
Which one is better?
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz goes with 2GB RAM
and
Dual Opteron 246 2.0 Ghz goes with 4GB RAM
I use this server for a little big forum with about 16,000 member, 300 members + visitors online everytime and 2 more sites (small sites).
One more question, Is 10Mbps switch port or 100Mbps switch port affected to speed?
Which one do you prefer?
- dual opteron 252 / 2GB RAM DDR / 15K rpm SCSI disk
- core2duo E6400 / 2GB RAM DDR2 / raid-1 sata (raid-edition) disks
It will be used for a big vBulletin forum. Price is around $200 different, core2duo a bit more expensive.
I now have 2 options for my new servers,first one specs:
Core2Quad Q6600
4GB DDR-II 800Mhz
2 x 250GB SATA II
and another one:
Dual Opteron 280
4GB ECC DDR (it should be 400Mhz)
2 x 250GB SATA
They are about same price as the second one is used system and the first one is brand new.
So which one should i choose?
I've had a dual Opteron 285 (dual core 2.6ghz) server with Layered Tech for the last couple of years, and I have a nice offer for a Core2Duo e8400 machine.
Currently my sites generates an average of one thousand simultaneous connections -- will the Core2Duo 8400 be more responsive than the two Opterons 285?
Does the single physical processor Core 2 Duo beat the Dual (physical) CPU AMD Opteron 244 in general?
I am curious as I don't see many people offering them anymore, and someone told me that the Core 2 Duos are actually faster than the 2 CPU Opteron I am talking about.
I'm trying to figure out for sure which is best. Which would you do? The second is a bit older technology, I guess, but it seems to me that two discreet older Xeons would be better than one dual core newer Xeon.
Xeon 3040 Dual Core 1.86GHz (Conroe)
+ Single Processor Dual Core
+ 2GB RAM
+ 2 x 250GB SATA Drive
+ Cpanel/whm/fantastico
+ RedHat Enterprise 5 Linux
+ 10 IP Addresses
+ 1500GB Monthly Transfer
+ 10mbps Uplink
$174 Per Month
-OR-
Dual Xeon 2.8GHz
+ 2GB RAM
+ 2x 80GB IDE Drives
+ Cpanel/whm/fantastico
+ RedHat Enterprise 5 Linux
+ 10 IP Addresses
+ 2500GB Monthly Transfer
+ 100mbps Uplink
$172
Trying to determine how much better, if any, the Dual Opteron 265 would be over the Quad 6600... this is for a dedicated server.
Also... would it be worth $20 per month more for a Dual Opteron 2212?
Can 260w PSU handle this cpu?
[url]
and the the motherboard 4 or 8 GB of RAM plus two SATA HD?
how would systems compare if they were based ont he followinf chips:
Intel core i7 920
VS
Dual Xeon 5405
Plesk shows my CPU details as below
CPU - INTEL Pentium III (Katmai) EM64T Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 6 ~1995MHz
VPS provider promised Dual core Xeon CPU. Is above CPU a Dual core Xeon?
I understand that the woodcrest is a better processor. Just want people's opinions if it justifies the price.
Here are the configurations we are looking at:
Dual Xeon 3.2 SCSI
2GB of RAM
2 x 73GB SCSI Disk
Cpanel
-----------------------------
$222
or
Dual Intel Woodcrest 5130 Dual Core
4GB of RAM
2 x 146GB, 10K RPM SCSI
cpanel
-----------------------------
$385.00
We host approx 100 sites on a server. 60% are static sites and 40% are ecommerce or sites with a database. Just curious if the performance increase will justify the price on the woodcrest vs the xeon.
Also is $385 a good deal for this setup?
How would processor performace compare assuming the harddrives were the same and the amount of ram was the same? For example, how would a system with older dual xeon 2.4 or 2.8 cpus compare to Intel Core2 Duo E4300 socket 775, 2x 1.8Ghz/1M L2 system?
I am guessing that the Intel Core2 Duo would win, but by how much? I am sure this is hard to compare since ram speeds are different as well, but hopefully someone can make an estimate.
I would like to compare a Dual Xeon 3Ghz HT with a single Quad Xeon 2.4Ghz. Does tperformance difference worth $60 month plus?

There are a lot of changes in the naming convention Duo Core Quad Core, Core2Dual, Core2Quad. I wonder for Dual Core Xeon 3Ghz (which we called previously) would would be its equivalent or better now than is easily found on the market?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI got a Dual Xeon 3.0 GHz EM64T and it's being outperformed by P4 3.2 GHz (24 seconds on a simple PHP benchmark against 17 seconds)
I even tried to run this same benchmark twice (in 2 processes) simultaneus beliving the Dual Xeon would split them in the processors and get faster, but it was 35s against 50s (P4 winning again)
so I can only guess the kernel is not using all the processor power or something like that... may it be the arch used? I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 with 386 arch
(here's the benchmark)
PHP Code:
<?
$a=10000;
$b=10000;
$t1 = time();
for($i=0;$i<10000000;$i++) {
$b = $a + 50;
$b = $b * 15.222;
$a = $b - 7000;
}
echo "
";
echo time() - $t1;

can someone give a comparison betwen this two
