Hi, I am in the process of building a new database server and after pricing up 2 Dell models I thought I would throw this out just to see which choice would be better suited for FreeBSD.
The demands on the system will be mostly network -> disk I/O with a hope of best performance on quickly servicing numerous reads; for example when reports are generated using the data in the database. The 2 choices (we dont have that much money and they have to be Dell) are a poweredge 1850 and a poweredge 850. 850 specs. ---------------- Procsesor: Pentium(Dual Core) 830 @ 3.0GHz/2X1MB Cache 800MHz FSB Memory: 2GB DDR2, 533MHz (2x1GB) Dual ranked DIMMs Disks: SATA 1850 specs. ------------------ Processors: 2 @ Xeon @ 3.0GHz/2MB Cache 800MHz FSB Memory: 2GB DDR2, 400MHz (4x512) Single ranked DIMMs Disks: Ultra 320 The pricing is really close. Thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
