Dual Processors On/off
Jan 28, 2007
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.

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.

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?

My 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'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'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?

different opinions on dual cpus and dual core.
But say: I have 2 servers, one with a dual CPU and another one with a single CPU but dual core. The CPUs have all the same specification (bus speed, cache, frequency, etc). Which one would perform better for web hosting (php, mysql)?

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?

in my experience, when I take a server with Dual PSU and plug in just one of the PSU to a PDU, the PDU reads 2 amps. When I plug in the second PSU, it still reads 2 amps, not much change. May be it was originally 1.6 and the additional PSU just added 0.4amps.
Now, if I am planning to plug in the two PSUs into two different PDUs, what should I see reading on both of the PDUs? 2 amps and 0 amps? 1 amp each? or something else?
How do you guys normally balance the power? cause I bet if I unplug one of the PSUs the other PDU where the second PSU is connected will read 2 amps. So its seems to be happening at some what random, or am I missing something here?

Does anyone know of a fairly low cost dual power supply Ethernet switch. Nothing fancy is needed, just a simple 12-24 port switch that has redundant power features.
Our router and four little servers all have dual power supplies. Two big UPS units in a redundant setup would work great for us. The only weak link in the setup is the switch.

We have 2 servers with old Dual Opteron 285's and would like preform an upgrade. I'm not sure where to start, these servers are for webhosting and load is pretty much around 3~5 during peak times.
We have the following choices:
Single Q9550 (Will it preform better than my current CPUs? Are they suitable for server use?)
Dual E5405's (Slowest Harpertown, is it worth it?)

Just 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

This is probably the wrong location for this thread but I am unsure which section it is best located at.
I have 2 hard drives - 1 has XP pro installed (master drive) on it and the other is blank and set to slave. On the blank one i intedn to install Red Hat linux.
How is the best way to create a dual boot with these machines if each hard drive has one O/S dedicated to it.

where is currently the "best" places to rent a dual core atom with about 2gb of ram, storage requirements are very low sub 50gb.
I am interested in getting two of these in total in different dcs (US/EU only).
Also something which I feel would be interesting is getting one up with a SSD. Has any one come across any where offering this?
There seems to be alot of variation on prices directly in the atom niche, and then we you compare it to the same companies offering on their bigger brothers (quad core xyz) it makes things much more confusing.
I have no interest in cheaper 5 year old hardware which might compare speed wise
