It's a great server (the DL760 G2). They really opened up the bus and the 
Xeon 3.0 is superfast.

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?
