Some of the new i7 kit from Intel is indeed where the 'action' is at these days - but if you look at the specifications and price points for those, its cheaper to build a larger AMD based setup to get better performance per $costfactor. However, the sort of machine that Abhishek is looking at isnt quite a i7 box, is it ? Thanks a lot for these guys i have though opted for a Core2quad. thanks abhi ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Although, for an oltp setup, you might also want to check and investigate what sort of i/o subsys and what ram you are going to get. Depending on your load type, a good i/o and ram setup could far outweight cpu wins. Not that Cpu isnt important, its just that the cpu isnt the only thing thats important. - KB ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] dedicated server - opteron or Core2quad

Both platforms are equally good.
