Currently running on Supermicro 1U Pentium 4 2.8mhz with hyper threading |
| 9 |
for about two years. The average 15min load is only 0.31. The os is |
| 10 |
Fedora Core 1. |

Thinking of setting up another server and move all the services to the |
| 13 |
multi-core server. Then have the Pentium 4 server as a backup. |
| 14 |

Of course it will be gentoo and 64bit. And on kernel 2.6. Want to learn |
| 16 |
and try out Xen virtualization. More and more sites are now CMS based |
| 17 |
and I like WebGUI which runs on mod_perl. More clients want web based |
| 18 |
applications. So going to a more powerful server might help. I am hoping. |

When is Barcelona coming out? Would it be expensive because it is new |
| 21 |
and a true 4 core chip? |

From reading the posts, it seems that memory is very very important. |
| 24 |
Wondering if it is better going with a 2 core cpu and put the savings on |
| 25 |
more ram. Originally thinking of 4g. Maybe the ram should go to 8g. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Plus it is paranoia. Just afraid that something on the Pentium 4 might |
| 28 |
fail. Since it is already two years old. |

PS: going with tyan because from this list, it seems that tyan has good |
| 33 |
support for linux. |
