Q: 4 x Dual Xeon Single Core 3.0 1 Gb RAM OR 2 x Dual Opteron Dual Core 2 Gb RAM?
If the price is equivalent, given the choice between:
4 x Dual Xeon Single Core 3.0 1 Gb RAM servers OR 2 x Dual Opteron Dual Core 2.0 2 Gb RAM servers to be used as webservers, which option would you choose? |
4 x Dual Xeon Single Core 3.0 1 Gb RAM servers. Too much RAM is useless if the processor is not strong enough ;)
|
But Dual/Dual Opterons are more powerful than Dual/Single Xeons. :)
|
Ram is too important, go with the 2 gigs. :)
|
If you need that much proccessing power chances are you will need at least 1GB ram. Go with the 2nd option.
Not only are opterons better but you get more ram |
Mmm... that's what I thought - 2 D/D Opterons are better than 4 D/S Xeons.

I'd have to consider what you are doing with all of the servers, however at the end of the day the Opterons, even a single dual core would probally stomp all over a dual single core xeon setup. I'm guessing you are going for web/db servers Erwin? Might want to look at smaller frontend boxes and mroe of them, with a beefier database system and possibly a memcached server for storing the database in. Altho I've only heard about such a system I'm sure it would be killer as far as fast. |
I'd go with 2 x Dual Opteron Dual Core 2.0 2 Gb RAM. 1 Gb is just too little, regardless of CPU power.
|
Opteron configuration all the way! :)
