I've posted my comments before but the important thing is that P4 is largely unnecessary as it doesn't have instructions that apply to server applications (mostly).
So, PIII (dual is quite helpful) the fastest you can get without paying a premium 1 GB ram dual scsi drives (raid 1) This is the simplest scenario and will handle tons of queries (100/sec) with drive failover (very very nice) very fast and it can fit in 1U. If you have less money, I would drop the second proc, then move to lower speed proc, then less memory. > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicolas MONNET (Tech) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 10:46 AM > To: Helmut Apfelholz > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Serwer Hardware p4 or pIII ? > > > On Wed, 2002-12-04 at 15:23, Helmut Apfelholz wrote: > > --- Simon Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > MySQL uses memory and HDD the most and so processor > > > speed is not so > > > important. > > > > Well, processor speed is also important, on some of > > our servers processors are almost 100% occupied. > > If your bottleneck is memory speed, you will see 100% CPU > usage even if > the CPU actually spend 99% of its time idle, waiting for data to come > in. > > I'm not too up to date on the latest RAM technology, but I > hear there's > several types of DDR, the most expensive one being > significantly faster. > Or is it? > > Anyone care to share some insight on this? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
