E6400 Vs X2-4200 Vs Opteron 170
May 10, 2007which CPU are you going with? which one is the strongest and which one is the weakest?
about the power usage, I guess we can compare E6400 and X2-4200 only? which one is using less power?

X2-4200 Vs Opteron 165
May 28, 2007Both are using 2GB RAM with sata disks. Will run CentOS on it for normal shared hosting.
Which one do you suggest?
Dual Opteron 252 Or Core2duo E6400
May 3, 2007Which 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.
Opteron 275 Vs Opteron 2212
Feb 11, 2007Anyone know where i can find a benchmark that can compare the two processors? Im trying to figure out if a Dual Opteron 275 (Dual-Core) or the Dual Opteron 2212 (Dual-Core) would be better for the money. Or if you have any experiance with the 2 processors can i get your comments on both.

Nov 7, 2007I 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?

Jun 13, 2008Just 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and the high prices of new technology, this would be a good investment, but do you think it is worth it to build outdated hardware?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

Platform For The Six-Core AMD Opteron
Jun 22, 2009There always seems to be some Quality issues with the Nvidia chipsets, so I was looking at getting some feedback on boards if any of you have been using anything else yet.
Normally I only use Tyan for server builds but the only alternative to Nvidia chipset is the Thunder h2000M (S3992-E).
I'm looking for stability #1, performance #2
I'm looking for something non Nvidia but simular to the "TYAN S4989WG2NR Quad 1207(F)" as far as features.

Reboot Time On A Opteron 248
Mar 9, 2007I just purchased my first Opteron 248 (normally use 170's). The reboot time is about 20 minutes. The 170's reboot in under 5 minutes.
I watched it reboot through IPMI and it says:
PXE-M0F No DHCP or ProxyDHCP offers were received.
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent
Then it retries to connect to DHCP over and over for about 15 minutes before finally starting the normal boot process.
Is this normal? The data center is telling me it is, but I find it hard to believe anything would take that long to boot on a new system.
Which Hardware Is Better: Dual Opteron 265 Or X2 5000+
Apr 4, 2009I'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.

1U Chassis For Daul Opteron Or Woodcrest
Oct 16, 2007We are using the SC512L-260B chassis for our lower end machines, what is a good recommendation for say Dual Opteron or Dual Woodcrest servers?
Looking 1U that will handle 2 drives, but would also like a recommendation for going with 4 drives (would this require 2U?). Hot swap not necessary.

Help W/ Game Server Acceleration. Opteron 275, 2GB DDR440 ECC-R, 15k SCSI HD
Aug 22, 2006Hi, I've been lurking around WebHostingTalk for a little while now and have finally decided to register and post. I see there are tons of knowledgeable game server professionals in this forum and thought this would be a great place to get some helpful hints while having fun at the same time. I currently have a server colocated in Los Angeles. I was able to get a server built for cheap with the following specs:
IBM eServer 326 (1U)
AMD Opteron 275 (room for 2)
2 GB DDR400 ECC-R
15K SCSI Hard Drives
Windows 2003 Server
Bandwidth: 3Mbps Burstable Mzima.
I'm trying to run a couple of Counter-Strike 1.6 servers for a couple of friends and clanmates of mine. There are currently only 3, maybe up to 5 if possible, servers being run right now with 1 of them being a 24 player public server (which isn't really filled 24/7), the rest are private match servers. I've been trying to accelerate them each to 250FPS+, 250FPS for the public and 500FPS+ for the private match servers but am having running problems.
The problem I am having is that only 1 of the servers will be able steadily maintain 500FPS. The other servers would fluctuate between 300 - 1000FPS. I've tried the "Windows Media Player/Flash" trick, and also the WinHL-Booster metamod plugin none of which have been able to suite our needs. We all want steady 500FPS w/ low pings for our private match servers for CALeague, because we all get jealous of each other.
I’ve been searching around for a while and don’t know what else to do. Any help that you all can provide will be greatly appreciated.
