Re: Xeon on Linux

One thing, I would not go with a Xeon, only if I was planning a quad then perhaps. When you run many concurrent processes, the cache utilization goes down since you do so much context switching. Granted that recent kernels have improved much, but since you still dont have fully associative cach

Hi Patrick I'd go for the Faster Xeon then. The dual P3 will never run faster than 1Gig but by the sounds of it you can always plug in more 2.2Gig Xeons :-) With regards to Linux on the Xeon, at worst you will be able to run the standard kernel and still get much more speed than the same clock sp

Hello Glenn Hocking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, I am planing to run MySQL on either dual P3-1G or single Xeon 2.2G. The main board is smp architecture, therefore I may add another Xeon CPU in the future. I think MySQL has no problem on smp architecture, right? Just difficult to make the decision. On

Hi Patrick Not sure on Linux Kernels for the Xeon, but a few packages don't run the best on dual processor systems. From what I understand, bind 8 will run on dual processor but won't ever use the second processor, so in this case the faster single processor system would be my choice. However a
