Server hardware
Hi.
We're about to upgrade our web server, and we finding a hard time deciding
between 2 configurations:
1. Dual Pentium II 450Mhz
2. (single) Pentium III 733Mhz
Memory will be 256MB and the HD will be IDE 7200RPM.
The server will be used mainly as a web server (for a rather busy web site)
but also as a POP/SMTP server with some misc work it has to do (mainly
cleaning up, firewall stuff, IDS, etc).
Now the question:
Assuming both hardware configuration are the same price (they are), which
will have the better performance from your experience? (the actual question,
is what is more important for apache: More Mhz, or another CPU?).
I'd also like to hear about your experience with Dual processors on a Linux
server (we're talking RH 6.1). Does anybody have any good experience with
it? Bad experience? (once again: I'm talking about a web server, not a
personal workstation) I heard some network cards had problems with Dual
machines. Anybody heard about it?
In general - is there any issues I should know about before buying it?
Thanks.
