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?
Not too experienced with this and need your help. I agreed for a dedicated server deal with Core2Quad Q9300 but now the agent is giving me a Xeon X3220 instead and said there is no difference.
Could I get some opinions? Is it true there is no difference? I had the impression that the Q9300 was more powerful.
Today, I just found out that PacificRack was offering dedi's with Q9300 CPU and 6GB DDR2 for $129 (Pretty good deal). I picked one up for VMWare ESXi development machine and they had me online in under 4 hours which is very fair. It seems that their service has consistently good over time and this makes me want to work with them for many years to come.
The machine has been living up to its expectations so far although it has only been a day. With the good service I received, I had to put up a review I'd also like to add that we have been colocating our servers with them for over a year without any major issues. Any ticket has been responded to in a timely manner and the staff is always courteous and professional. The network is absolutely outstanding and constantly improved.
I have written a review in the past for PacificRack and my view remains the same towards them. Excellent job, and keep doing what you do best.
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?

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.

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?
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)?
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
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.
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.
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.
