Hi there I am moving into a production environment. I will mostly be using Meetme, with Ztdummy for timing. I have a question on which of 2 processor setups is favourable. I have the choice between Dual 2.8GHz Xeon Processors and a single Pentium 4 3.06GHz Processor. These will cost me exactly the same amount. Would one of these processor setups be favourable, both in terms of performance and running Asterisk? Many thanks Steven
The Dual 2.8GHz will be much faster for running everything. If it is the same price it should be a no brainier, take the two CPU system. Depending on the manufacture of the system it may even take a failure of one CPU. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Steven Langley Sent: May 30, 2005 11:03 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] choice of processors Hi there I am moving into a production environment.

Need to provide a little more info: What's the bus speed? What kind of motherboard would you use with each? What kind of RAM at what speed? What cache size are on the CPUs? Also, what price are these as equals? I've seen two Xeon 2.8GHz 800MHz processors for about US$450 and a single P4 at the same price would be a 3.6GHz 2MB cache at several resellers. which resellers do you buy through or are you buying a prebuilt system?
