I'm thinking about building a new system, and can't decide if I want to go with AMD64 or dual Athlons.... (or something else)?
Current system is an Athlon 1200+ I think, 512MB RAM, 2gigs of swap, plenty of HD space Current Usage: Apache (hosting 3 PHPNuke sites, running behind cable modem..so bandwidth usage is pretty small, maybe 3mb/day) MySQL (Supporting websites only) IPTABLES NAT/Firewall routing Fetchmail/Procmail filtering external POP accounts through spamassassin into local POP accounts The biggest usage comes from running: -XFree86 -Evolution (personal mail) -KMail (business mail) -Citrix ICA Client (not all the time) -VMWare workstation with Win2K Pro session running a windows app that sucks up perhaps 25% virtual CPU 24x7, no chance of moving it to Linux.. -I also use this as my workstation, GNUCash, OpenOffice and the like.. I prefer keeping all these things on the same box, so I only run one machine 24x7.. My goal is to get better response when working on it, and overall less CPU usage (percent wise). With more horsepower (and more RAM) I could set nice on VMWare to lower priority and get better response to other things without slowing down VMWare. I have a feeling I'm going to get swamped with suggestions ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
