Recently I saw this deal @ TP. But 'm confusing..because our budget is kinda low..
Please help us with some suggestion. Should we upgrade to this Dual Xeon? Is it really a good deal?
Intel Dual Xeon 2.8 - IDE
2x80GB SATA Hard Drives
2048MB RAM
2500GB Bandwidth
NOW ONLY $147/mo
with cPanel which is $172/month.
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.
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?

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
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?
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.
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.
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?
I 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
Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz 2 gb ram outperform a AMD x2 5000 with 2 Gb ram for apache processes only say for web proxies only.
Or will a Intel Xeon 3065 2.33GHz Conroe with 2 gig ram outperform both of them.
I need to know as my own proxies are getting lots of hits in range for 1k to 2k at times, and also in return good ads payout rate, so upgrade is the best option i see right now to keep speeds optimum.
how to get the best "bang for my buck" for a dedicated server; I don't have specific requirements, just have training videos (flash) to play on the site, traffic isn't high now but I want to be ready...
Looking at ThePlanet as an example, what do the choices mean:
1) Xeon 3060, vs Dual Xeon, vs Pentium 4
2) IDE Drive, vs SCSI, vs SATA drive
I know I want 2-4 GB Ram, but beyond that, I don't know what components matter and are worth paying for.
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 had the above server on my website and the datacenter i'm used to get my boxes from increased their prices because they were running an offer back then
i was wondering where can i find the following specs with the following range: Dual Xeon 3.2Ghz 4GB Ram 2 X 300GB disks traffic can be anything between 1000 - 2000GB Linux CentOS cPanel my cost was $151/mo, any price on that range or lower would be great
i can tie myself for 1 year contract but monthly payments since my customer signed for 1 year contract already
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.
