It sounds like the consensus is more cores over clock speed. Surprising to me since the difference in clocks speed was over 1Ghz. So, I will go with a quad core.
I was leaning towards 4GB of ram - which hopefully should be enough for dedup as I am only planning on dedupping my smaller file systems (backups and VMs). Was my raidz2 performance comment above correct? That the write speed is that of the slowest disk? That is what I believe I have read. Now on to the hard part of picking a motherboard that is supported and has enough SATA ports! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
