Well, now the chapter is about WAL and reliability, so I thought reliability hit both topics. Also, maybe we should consider moving this FAQ item into the docs: <H3><A name="3.7">3.7</A>) What computer hardware should I use?</H3> <P>Because PC hardware is mostly compatible, people tend to believe that all PC hardware is of equal quality. It is not. ECC RAM, SCSI, and quality motherboards are more reliable and have better performance than less expensive hardware. PostgreSQL will run on almost any hardware, but if reliability and performance are important it is wise to research your hardware options thoroughly. Our email lists can be used to discuss hardware options and tradeoffs.</P> Anyway, I thought the previous chapter title, WAL, was weird because it was hard to know why an administrator would care about WAL --- there was no lead-in to the term. This way, it is all under reliability, and can add to it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
