Hi, all.
I need to upgrade my dual Xeon PostgreSQL engine.
Assuming similar memory and disk sub-systems, I am considering a Quad Xeon system vs. a Dual Itanium for PostgreSQL. I believe that the PostgreSQL code is written for 32 bit and not optimized for the 64 bit Itanium cpu. That makes me think that the Xeon system would be a better choice.
'
Bang for the buck per CPU you are best off using an Opteron based solution from AMD. This will give you the 64bit address space that Xeon can't but for a heck of a lot less money than an Itanium.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
Do any of you have thoughts on:
1. Straight performance capability 2. Price/Performance
I would appreciate any feedback you might have.
