...of selecting a hardware platform to run a Linux-Speex VoIP application. Being concerned with size and power consumption I must choose a processor with a minimal amount of computational power. To that end I've narrowed my search to number of different products that reference the popular "SiSoft Sandra(TM)" wetstone bench-mark test for floating point performance. Given that hardware manufacturers shamelessly choose the most favorable test conditions to maximize their product's apparent performance, for example operands may be stored and fetched solely from cache, do the Speex FLO...

...termining the optimal "socket options" values for SO_SNDBUFF and SO_RCVBUFF. 1. Adjust your smb.conf to reflect: socket options = SO_SNDBUFF=4096 SO_RCVBUFF=4096 TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY 2. Kill your smb/nmb processes, and restart samba. 3. From a workstation, download and install siSoft Sandra (http://www.3bsoftware.com/Downloads/sandra/sandra.html). 4. Map a drive to your samba server. Disable any other TSR's/screensavers/antivirus/etc on your workstation. 5. Run ONLY the Drive Performance test on the mapped drive. Record the Buffered/Sequential/Random Read/Write values (al...

Hi, I need a simple tool for benchmarking my NT client against my Ubuntu Samba server. I get 20MB/s during a file copy but I think my limit is the client's hard disk. Dose anyone know a simple exe tool which simulate file I/O agains the Samba server. I like to avoid using my lokal disk during the test. Have looked around but can't find a simpe tool which dose the job without the need of

I know this is a bit OT, but the subject of CPU speed came up here and I was (and have been for some time) curious: What is the actual speed of an AMD CPU? E.g., I have a Athlon 64 X2 "4200+" but my /proc/cpuinfo shows 1005.164 MHz for the two cores. What do those mean? Is there a reference for this (huge) discrepancy? Also, is there a way (and what) to tell what the actuall running
