Hello all. This is the first time I summit mail to this list. Please forgive me if this is an old question. I try to build a new server. I found that this two configuration is about the same price : A. Dual P-II 300 2 * P-II 300 CPU TYAN Thunder 2 mainboard - LX chipset - with Adaptec 2985 on board (dual U/W scsi) B. P-II 400 1 * P-II 400 CPU ASUS BX chipset mainboard The new server is mainly used for software development and as a database server. From the information I gathered, SMP has very good performance on compilation (near linear ?). For database access, the SCSI on TYAN would provide better performance. Since BX chipset using 100MHZ bus while LX chipset using 66MHZ bus, I just want to know the pros and cons on this two system. Thanks in advance. Any comment is wellcome.
