PDSMA+ With E6600

E6600 Is Slower Than P4 2.8G

Sep 2, 2007

i had an p4 2.8g db server, centos4+mysql4.1. the cpu usage went up to 9X% at peak time (web pages loaded within 2~3sec), so i decide to swtich to a new server with a faster cpu. the new box is core 2 duo e6600, centos5+mysql5.0, having same RAM and HD with the old box. surprisingly , the cpu usage keeps above 150% almost all the time, and web pages cost 10+seconds to load at peak time.

how is it possible? what is the problem here? is the cpu, os, or mysql?

Stay With E6300 Or Upgrade To E6600

Mar 31, 2007

I currently have a co-located server with the following specs:

Core 2 Duo E6300
2 GB RAM
2x250 GB HDD Maxtor IDE

and I want to add 4 GB more RAM and replace the hard drives with 4x250 GB HDD SATA, running in a software RAID10.

The main reason for the upgrade is that the server should be able to host a community page (PHP, mySQL) with reasonable performance. I think the use of 6 GB RAM and RAID010 already enhances the capacity of the server, the only thing I'm still not sure about is if I should upgrade the CPU.

The system currently runs a lot of IRC stuff and gameservers. The average CPU usage is around 10% for both cores, in peak times (heavy load on the gameservers), it can jump up to 50-60%.

I have compared servers who provide the backend for community pages and I often see that there is a - compareable slow - CPU built-in (like Dual Xeon 3 GHz with Netburst architecture), but they have a lot of RAM and fast hard drives.

So what do you think? Is a CPU upgrade also necessary (to E6600), or is the additional RAM / RAID already sufficient to run a medium community page flawlessly?

"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.
