MySQL on Linux, Athlon MP stability?
Hello! I'm in the process of upgrading my Linux-server (currently a dual P2-400MHz), and have been thinking about getting a system with dual Athlons (maybe 2x Athlon MP 1800+). Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with a dual Athlon system with Linux running MySQL 3.23.x, and maybe Apache under HEAVY load? Since the Athlon MP's haven't been around for very long, I'm a bit concerned about the stability under heavy load on the 2.4 kernel... So please, if you have a success- or disaster-story I'd like to know! :) I'm also very interested in what mainboard you are using for the Athlons, and what Linux-kernel version you're running...

Ve've supported it since RHL 7.1 (which was released before the Athlon MP, if memory serves :).

RE: MySQL on Linux, Athlon MP stability?
Well, I don't have anything yet, but I've got a server in the mail coming to me that is a dual Athlon MP 1900+. I'll be getting it either today, or tomorrow with any luck, and I'll let you know how things go. Gonna be running SuSE 7.3, PHP, MySQL, Apache, BIND9 and various other packages on it. Oh, and SETI@Home, to burn in the processors. ;) Matthew Walker Ecommerce Project Manager Mountain Top Herbs -Original Message- From: Tobias Lind - Telia Internet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 9:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MySQL on Linux, Athlon MP stability?

Note that the Via kt266a (_not_ SMP chipset) is quite good these days. If I was building a dual-processor machine, there's no doubt I'd go for an Athlon system at the moment. For a quad-processor machine, I'd look much more closely at the P3 Xeon chip (the P4 Xeon has no 4-processor motherboards afaik).

MySQL on Linux, Athlon MP stability?
We have been using a dual Athlon MP 1600+ (1,4GHz) MySQL box since december. Stability is rock solid and the performance is consirably higher than our previous dual PIII-1000 server (40% clock speed difference). Configuration: Tyan Thunder K7 motherboard, 2GB RAM, Adaptec 3200S SCSI-RAID, 3x Seagate Cheetah X15, 4U rackmount. Slackware Linux with 2.4.17 kernel, MySQL 3.23.47. We also have a dual Athlon MP 1,2GHz webserver based on the Tyan Tiger MP. Good CPU cooling is very important, especially when building a 2U dual Athlon server. Big heatsinks with big 6cm fans will limit the airflow because the fan is too close to the top of the case. Use ECC Registered memory and a high quality power supply. You will need at least 300W for a light webserver configuration and 400W for a heavy duty db server with SCSI RAID. Hello!
