It depends - there is a BIGMEM patch from Andrea
I'd be interested to see what happens when MySQL gets run on a G5.
SPECint and SPECfp numbers look very good. there is an 8GB RAM limit on
it, though.

The G5 may not be all Apple says it is, but then, nothing is what it
seems when it comes to CPU's and performance tests. That said, if anyone
who wants to buy me one when they come out, I won't complain.
Interesting article. get's a bit numberish though.

Actually, you can create larger files on 32bit Linux systems
as well. It's
just that the file system and the C library must have support for LFS

I think we have a mysql database running on Tru64, and I'm sure it runs
great on Solaris. My guess
Excellent point. How does MySQL run on Tru64? Any familiarity with it on
Intel32?
But there are some big drawbacks to these platforms:
- they only run apps that have been specifically ported and compiled for
them. The Opteron runs the same 32-bit code that an Athalon or Pentium class
computer

Not necessarily. People that need relatively affordable 64 bit systems
may be waiting for the Opteron to stabilize. My experience is the Wintel
solutions (like Opteron) tend to have at least a 2-1 price performance
over Sun and Dec. Also, given that HP has basically dropped Alpha, I

the new G5, 64bit PowerMacs. Could be another alternative for the
inexpensive 64bit market. Granted, they don't ship until august, but
they are nice to look at:
