Hi, |

|
| 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. |
