Hi all, I am looking to purchase hardware for a large database running MySQL or Oracle on Linux.
Was thinking of the Opteron for its good scalability and memory bandwidth until my friend told me that the DL760 from HP that uses the F8 (from Intel Profusion) chipset allowing up to 8 CPUs and memeory up to 32GB. I have always though that the Xeons cannot go beyond 4 CPUs and 4GB but this changes the equation. Has anyone got experience with this server or similar ones? How is the performance for running databases, esp in terms of large RAM usage? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
