"Intel P4 3.4dc" Versus "INTEL CORE 2 DUO E6600 2.4GHZ"
Apr 23, 2009
I have currently a server with a "Intel Core 2 duo e6640 2.4Ghz".
Now the company I'm at moving to a new data center and offering me a box for the same price with a Intel P3.4.
As I understand I would move from a two core to a single core CPU.
In the first move letter they send me, they where saying I would get a CPU plus, plus 1 GB mem more.
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.
if anyone has insight or comments about Fusion-io's ioDRIVE versus their ioXtreme drive. If you do, I would appreciate reading your thoughts on this.
The ioDRIVE is their enterprise product while the ioXtreme drive is being marketed to the consumer market. Both seem to be extremely impressive products.
My main question is whether or not an ioXtreme is suitable for web server use. The ioDRIVE is made for server use and is much more expensive, so is not only a bit less attractive because of the cost but also a bit out of my reach, financially, at this point.
So, what do you think about the ioXtreme being used in a web server? Any reason that this might be a bad idea?
Would Intel's X25-E be a better solution than the ioXtreme? The ioXtreme is PCIe based & the X25-E is a SATA drive.
I was just wondering which is better..Should I pick a intel core 2 duo E6750 at 2.66 GHz Bus speed 1333 MHz 4MB L2 or Intel Xeon 3060 Dual Core Conroe(2.4 GHz) bus speed 1006 MHz
different speed between Quadcore Q6600 2.4Ghz and Xeon 3060 Dual core 2.4Ghz? Typically i can tell the Q6600 is faster than Xeon 3060 but i am not sure which one is faster and more stable for dedicated server.
I'm trying to install CentOS 4.4 in dual core 2 box without success, can't even finish installation. Read about a bug closed because it doesn't happen in CentOS 5, thus leaving me no option but to use unstable cPanel 11. Does anyone have any clue about this? Seems strange that there's no workaround.
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?
Does anyone have an opinion on the Intel Dual Xeon Quad Core Clovertown versus the AMD Dual Core Dual Opteron? I'm assuming the Xeon is better. I recently put in an order for one, and I'm hoping I made the right decision (Yes I know it would have made more sense to ask before ordering but that's not how I roll) .
I just bought one of these today but not only does it not have hdd's it doesn't have caddies... i can't find them anywhere, where do you guys get missing caddies?
if there is already an equivalent Xeon for the i7 processors?
I mean that for example C2Q Q6600 is equivalent for X3220 if I'm right.
Also, I guess those Servers will cost a lot more, not only because the processor is very costly but it also requires DDR3 RAM which is still nowadays quite expensive...
I recently came across the pricing of Intel Atom powered Dedicated Servers which are as low as $39 (not managed of course) but, the hard disk space and bandwidth bundled with it is tempting.
I currently host a vBulletin Forum of mine of a 512 MB VPS and it performs fine but, I was thinking whether it would be better on an Atom as most are bundled with 2 GB of RAMs.
Anyone can help me out here - whether am thinking in the right direction or am entirely wrong in thinking this?
I have just purchase a Intel Pentium II MB 440 LX DP Server it has UnixWare 2.1.3 on it but didnt not come with a login in name of password is there any way I can get throught this. I have contacted the seller who hasnt a clue..(Bought it from ebay)
