As outlined at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160103 dual AMD64 Opteron cpus give more bang for the buck when it comes to Apache and MySQL for high concurrency handling.

So how many of you folks have moved or considered moving from Intel/Xeon based servers to dual Opteron servers ?

If you have moved, care to share how it has improved your forum's performance compared to before ?

our biggest problem has always been disk speed, not proc. speed. But I definitely agree Opterons are much better.

You get what you pay for.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but it's not particularly relevant to our needs.

But if that were always true, then that would mean that IPB would be better than vB, which we all know is bull.:bunny:

I'm switching this weekend from Xeons to Opterons. The performance increase will be well worth it.

I'm also switching to RAID, so I can sleep better at night regarding drive failure.

Some of our machines are twin opterons and during a test period eariler in the year we had 2 Opterons spare which we used for HTML serving and they did a great job. We are now looking at bring in a number of twin Opterons for both HTML and mySQL serving as they do seem to be a much better buy.

I have a question for those of you with dual Opteron servers or who are getting them: what providers are you using? How has the service been?

I'm just about to upgrade to Dual Opteron from a Single CPU (don't laugh). The current box is sweating a bit under the load at the moment, so its an upgrade not before time.

Will let you know the outcome, but I don't know how useful it will be as we're going from a P4 3.4Ghz to a Dual Opteron & gaining another 2GB of Ram at the same time, which everything together equals probably a trippling of resources for VB to gobble up! lol

Where are you guys hosting your Dual Opterons? I'm still using Dual Xeon boxes but Dual Opterons would be peachy.
