Which Processor? Q8200 Vs Q6600

May 4, 2009

Planning on getting a new dedicated server with 4GB RAM, and a 500GB 7.2k SATA2 Hard Drive.

Which processor do you guys suggest? I know the Q6600 is older and runs hotter, but it has better specs than the Q8200. Would I really notice a difference if I'm only hosting static sites without any video streaming or anything?

Xeon 3220 Vs Q6600 Vs Q8200

Mar 23, 2009

Xeon 3220 (2.40Ghz 4MB Cache)
vs
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.44Ghz 8MB Cache)
vs
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 (2.33Ghz 4MB Cache)

How do these CPU's compare to each other? From what I've read so far I'm leaning towards the Q6600.

Q6600 Processor Vs. Q9400

Aug 22, 2008

I have read benchmark comparisons and found the Q9400 and even the Q9300 to be a better performing processor compared to the Q6600 processor, even with 2MB less L2 cache.

I am just wondering, how significant of a difference do you think the Q6600 processor and the Q9400 processor is in a server environment? Currently I have a Q6600 processor but am looking to upgrade my server, possibly to the Q9400 processor..will it be worth it? It's not that much more expensive..the only thing I am concerned about is the 2mb L2 cache loss.

My site is "kind-of" high traffic. We receive a lot of connections and visitors, and most-importantly my sites are run by PHP and MySQL databases.

Please help me choose the right processor. Currently I have 4GB DDR2-800mhz installed, which I will be upgrading to 8GB DDR2-800mhz, no matter what processor I choose to run.

I discovered that upgrading to 1ghz RAM is just not worth the extra money because the performance gain is very little and not noticeable.

Would anyone possibly know of a Intel Quad Core processor that has 8mb or more of L2 cache, 1333mhz FSB, and is comparable to the processors listed above and relatively the same in price?

Power Savings: Q8200 Vs. Q8200S

Jul 24, 2009

I'm looking at the Q8200 for a new batch of servers but noticed for 35% more cash I can upgrade them to 8200s models.

Does anyone have any stats about how much power (in Ampage as thats what i am measured on) a Q8200S model will save over a Q8200 model? Is it even worth the extra money in return for the savings (if its very minor)?

Is A Core2Quad Q6600 A Good Choice For A CPU

Dec 3, 2008

Is a Core2Quad Q6600 cpu a good choice in a dedicated server compared to a Xenon or Dual Xenons?

I'm sepcifically looking at this page...[url]

Is this a good deal?

The 1TB SATA can be swapped for a 300GB SCSI at no extra cost.

Intended for a vbulletin forum so lots of database queries, I assume the 8GB ram would be good for that.

Intel Q6600 Vs AMD Phenom 9500

Jun 8, 2008

I don't know if this is the right forum, but someone asked me which processor is better:

Q6600 - 8 MB cache - 4 x 2.4 Ghz
P9500 - 2 MB cache - 4 x 2.2 Ghz

Off course everyone will say the Q6600 now (i know that myself), but the Q6600 server has 4 GB ram and the P9500 server 8 GB. What would be the best choice?

it is for VPS hosting. In my opinion the P9500 is better.

Which Processor

Jul 15, 2008

I have always used Intel processors. Maybe just out of habit but I always have.

AMD Dual-Core Opeteron 1216 2.40GHz

or

Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.50GHz 2.66GHz

Both would have 4GB ram.

What is the actual performance differences between these two processors? The Intel is $80 more and just not sure if it really is worth it.

RAM Vs Processor - Who Wins

Jan 12, 2009

Hows everybody doing. I am hosting a small network of sites (between 5-10) on a dedicated server with HostGator. I have the Standard package which gives me 1024mb as far as RAM and a Dual-Core 3040 Xeon (Conroe) as a processor goes.

My sites run extremely slow on the front end and back end. The sites are blogs which you probably know are php heavy. Not to mention a few of the sites get a decent amount of traffic (Alexa rankings of around 50K). One of the less popular sites with not as much traffic is www(dot)abnormalstyle(dot)com ...You can see how slow this site loads, its on the same server as the other sites, just using a different IP account...

I am looking to upgrade my server. When i talked to HostGator support i got the answer i would expect. "Upgrade to the next package, which is more money".

I am wondering if i would advantage from just upgrading my ram, or going with a processor first. The thing is, if i want to get the next processor i have to defiantly go with the next HostGator package, due to the fact they cant just add a new processor. They can however add more Ram.

Below are some options, if you have the time feel free to leave your comments and pick one of the options below which you feel would best suit the network of Wordpress blog sites i am using.

---------------------------------------------------------

Option 1 - Just upgrade RAM. There is no sense in going from a Dual-Core 3040 Xeon (Conroe) processor to just a Quad-Core 3210 Xeon (Kentsfield) processor, regardless of the ram, it will not make a major difference. ITS ALL ABOUT RAM!

Option 2 - Go for the next HostGator package which offers 4096mb Ram wise and Quad-Core 3210 Xeon (Kentsfield) processor wise. The Processor upgrade along with the RAM upgrade will be MUCH BETTER then just the ram upgrade itself in option 1.

Processor Speed

Mar 3, 2007

After reading a lot of good reviews on Softlayer around here, I was thinking about switching to them. They have some really good deals and I'm planning on getting one of their dual opterons, but I have a question about the processor speed in relation to database intense stuff (like a forum with a good number of users on at once, or a CMS).

I have the option of either going for a Dual Opteron 248 (2.2 gHz) or a 252 (2.6 gHz) which costs $50 more. My question: is the 252 really worth the extra money compared to the 248? All I have on my server is an IPB forum with 100-450+ users on at any given time, and a static site (soon to be converted to a CMS), and I'm thinking that RAM is more important than the processor for a database app like those (that, and hard drive speed). So I wanted to know if it would be better to go with the 248 and spend the money on more Ram and a SA SCSI 10k drive or two?

Processor Affinity

Jan 9, 2007

I have a production windows 2003 server with 2 XEON processors. In task manager I see 4 processors: 0,1,2,3. I assume this is because these processors have hyperthreading. My question is how do I know which 2 of the 4 are the main processors. I have a service I only want to run on processor 2, which 2 would I select to do this? I really don't want to be experimenting as this is a live production server.
