Xeon 5410 OR Xeon 3040 Please Help Me To Select My Server
Mar 12, 2008
Currently my web sites in VPS with PowerVPS and my Server everyday downs and my CPU usage is high load all the time.
My Ram is 1500Mg and I see that my web sites are using 1200-1300 all tha time.
So I will move to dedicated server and need your help to choose my server.
I have only one large web site and all the other web sites are small (20 web sites).
The larg web sites is VB forum
Everyday Visit my large web site 10000-15000 visitors .
Alexa rank 42000.
spend 190-220GB monthly BW.

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.

Softlayer is pricing these both the same, and I've been a big fan of the x3220 for a long time now. I haven't been able to fine ANY reasonably priced servers that can out perform the x3220 in computational ability.
That said, does anyone have any figures that would suggest the 5410 is better?
Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 5410 - 2.33GHz (Harpertown) - 1 x 12MB cache vs Single Processor Quad Core Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield) - 2 x 4MB cache
Clearly the cache is bigger, but for me, it's about speed and computation.
I can't find any references to the x5410 in the VPS vs Dedicated thhread.
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 just ordered a dell server a few days ago and have noticed in addition to a free harddrive upgrade I now have an upgraded processor for the same price.
The question for me is which is better? The previous processor was the low energy 105W one which suited me fine as I'm co-locating this to a DC where they are very strict on power consumption.
Is this one going to provide a noticable performance increase over the first? Is it a major power hog?
There's something I've always wondered, what makes a Xeon a Xeon?
For instance, what is the difference between a Core 2 Quad Q9300 and a Quad-Core Xeon E5420. Both are quad core, have a 1333MHz FSB, run at 2.5GHz, have SSE4.1, any all the specs seem identical.
Only difference I see is the Xeon has 12MB cache compared to the Q9300's 6MB.
But generally speaking, what makes a Xeon such much better for a server environment than a Core 2 processor.
Interested in buying server quad core or even better 8x.20 or more with 8-16 GB ram, 1gbit ethernet port, more ips, if posible 255, no filters and if posible hardware router to prevent ddos problems, can someone suggest anything?The best solution for me would be somewhere in Germany/Austria/France/UK/than USA ...Europe is primary...
To those of you who have pushed out Intel i7 platform servers, hows the performance? Also, hows the Desktop performance. Considering buying a new desktop with i7.
on Ebay for some entry level servers to put in colo for some personal sites. I already have the space so I ruled out renting any, and I see that you can get some pretty good deals on the MPs, I see a few quad 1.4/1.5ghz. But how would they compare to todays processors? What should I expect from them?
So the question is, Intel® Xeon® Processor 7041 (4M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) are those still good for hosting some shared accounts?
Following link does not give it a good ranking [url] even Atom and Celeron are having better ranking.
Well to make discussion more focused, a bunch of WP blogs around 50, few static, few dynamic, and around 2500 emails (in+out apart from filtered incoming SPAM) are running fine on an old 1Gb OpenVZ VPS without much load, but sites are becoming very slow (maybe shared pipe), now we have to move this client and all of his sites.
What's your say about this Xeon 7041 based server with 2Gb RAM, is it good enough for current scenario?
How much better are Xeon processors than Core 2 Duo processors? What goes into the brand difference? I know that they're built on the same architecture, but I'm unsure as to which is better.
I've got two choices, both Intel processors built on the Kentsfield Core 2 architecture.
Stats seem exactly alike, except one difference: the Core 2 Duo processor has a 9x multiplier (2.4GHz), while the Xeon processor has a 8x multiplier (2.13 GHz). I really see no advantage in taking the Xeon processor, which costs more. Multiplier difference shouldn't make a big deal.
So, anybody know what goes into the "Xeon" brand these days? The exact model numbers, by the way, are Q6600 for the Core 2 Duo and X3210 for the Xeon.
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...
Is this processor dual Quad Core processor or motherboard with that processor have hyper threading technology?I ask beacuse i see with top there is 8 cores.And is that processor worse or better then xeon 3220?
One's a desktop chip, the other a specialised server one.
In terms of performance, will there be a big difference between the pair? I know the Q9950 is a cheaper processor but there isn't much difference between them on the cpu benchmark Website.
This is what I was told by ThePlanet:
As for the quote you wanted for the core 2 quad Q9550, that is slightly less powerful than the xeon 3360. We do not offer desktop grade procesors in our servers, that would be misleading to our customers. Same as the RAM we offer, we offer ECC fully buffered RAM, not desktop grade.
This is a huge difference between providers like The Planet and other mom and pop shops you see around the internet.
I can't find any direct comparisons but I am thinking of upping our server to quad core. I'm just wondering if there is a direct comparison out there - and frankly hoping it won't be much of one seeing as how it's dual core vs. quad core.
while I'm surfing the net i find this site where it has a price list for the parts of a computer and i saw an Intel Xeon processor and it's priced is affordable to me.. Hmm.. My question now is it Ok to buy this processor? because some of my I.T. friends here tell me that it is for Server based processor only and it is not suitable for PC HOME USER..
