Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
Need some more advice. |
4 |
|
5 |
Now the question is, is it better to go with 2 core or 4 core? |
6 |
|
7 |
The reason for this question is, that I heard there is a diminishing |
8 |
return with more cores. Not sure if this is true with kernel 2.6.21 and |
9 |
running at 64bit. |
10 |
|
11 |
The server needed to built is for the following apps. |
12 |
|
13 |
Hardware. |
14 |
1. Tyan Tank GT20 (B5191) |
15 |
2. 2 x Sata drives |
16 |
3. Software raid 1 |
17 |
4. 4Gb ram ecc |
18 |
5. Intel Core2Duo E6420 or Intel Core2Quad E6600 |
19 |
|
20 |
Apps. |
21 |
1. Gentoo linux 64bit |
22 |
2. Apache 2 |
23 |
3. MySql |
24 |
4. Postgres |
25 |
5. Qmail |
26 |
6. Pure-ftpd |
27 |
7. Mod_perl |
28 |
8. php |
29 |
9. ruby |
30 |
|
31 |
Will all the instances of the apps be shared among the cores? |
32 |
|
33 |
Please share the comments. |
34 |
|
35 |
I would really like to save some money. If the 2 core can do the job |
36 |
there is quite a bit of savings buying just the 2 core. |
37 |
|
38 |
The other option is just to go with Pentium D with 2 core. That one is a |
39 |
real saver. |
40 |
|
41 |
Please advice. |
