Nope, but even with PPro (i guess the most flimsy CPU ever released) it's easy to get a set of four matched ones, even when buying them 2 and 2.. Xeons are easier to match than PPro, so it shouldn't be too hard. A lot of Xeonboards also support mixing cache-size (with differing success). -- Andreas D.

RE: Mysql - Dual Xeon or Dual Opteron
yes i was very impressed with the benchmark on the opteron , frankly i rekon the opterons are more optimised to a unix environment where xeons are more optimised for a windoze environment, we just got a dual 2G zeon dell system for a production box for a project which is doin full text searching on a large database it seems to do ok in a linux environment under mysql4 , well its very impressive very fast searches 4000 records in 1s but i havent personally tried this system on a dual opteron system sadly -Original Message- From: Konstantin Yotov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 9:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mysql - Dual Xeon or Dual Opteron Hello! :) Our server is very heavy loaded: CPUs states are in 0.0% idle almost all day. Linux 7.3 running myslq 3.23.56 and apache 1.3.27 on 2x1GHz Intel, 1GB RAM, 40GB WD 7200 8MB cache. Mysql have around 166 threads and perforn over 400 Queries per second. We are going to uprade our server but I'am wondering between new Opteron (1.4GHz)and Xeon (2.4). We are going to choose Dual Xeon solutions but after reading article about Opteron and Xeon performance with Mysql and Linux http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=55000261, where Opteron is 38% faster on query than Xeon, I am very confused what to do. If anybody can help with more information about this, I would be very appriated. Kosyo __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
