Can anyone share experience with opteron versus the xeon (woodcrest) for R under linux? I am looking at using 16-32Gb of ram in a workstation (as opposed to a server). Thanks in advance.... Sean

I am about to lease another server to be a backup web/mail server with a replicated mysql database. The current live server is a dual Xeon 2.8Ghz. Would I do better to get another Xeon server or an Opteron based server? My concerns are compatibility of the database and the SSL certificate currently running on the Xeon machine. Are these concerns unfounded? TIA Mike

Chip Clock HT Cache Bus Speed --------------------------------------------------------- 5080 3.7 GHz YES 2MB 1066 MHz 5160 3.0 GHz NO 4MB 1333 MHz Does the .7 GHz and HT worth more then 4MB cache and higher bus speed? The application is VoIP so there is not a lot of IO so I would not think Bus Speed would matter. I am finding mixed information on HT, some say it is great, others say it

...t seen very many good benchmarks running on recent hardware for things like this. Even simple things like how different raid levels perform with fast CPUs and really fast disks. We recently got the first of the cluster machines (which has the following specs: (from penguin computing) 2x 1.6ghz woodcrest (so 4 cores total) 2g ram (we may upgrade to more, depending on what we seem to need) 6x 15k SAS 73G hard drives. I've always read that RAID 10 is the RAID of choice for mail, because the checksums take time and whatnot, but on a system that fast I'm sure that's not an issue (which I...

Hi All, I am using the script below to limit download rates and manage traffic for a certain IP address and testing the results using iperf. The rate that iperf reports is much higher than the rate I have configured for the HTB qdisc. It''s probably just some newbie trap that''s messing things up but I''m buggered if I can see it. The following script is run on the

This adds support for core and core2 chips. Tested on Woodcrest processors. Requires Oprofile 0.9.2. -Andrew Signed-off-by: Andrew Theurer <habanero@us.ibm.com> _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Dear list, I am planning to buy a new server -because the new Core2 Duo based Xeons (5100 series) are considerably faster in some scenarios than Opteron machines while not beeing more expensive, I would like to hear some real-world experiences from people who have installed CentOS 4.3 or 4.4 on such a setup. Specifically: CPU: 2x Intel Xeon 5100 2GHz Board: Intel S5000 chipset RAID5:

I've been monitoring CPU temperature on a few Dell SC1435s running CentOS4 via OpenIPMI and 'ipmitool sdr'. It's been working very nicely, but the upgrade to 4.5 not so long ago seems to have broken something: # ipmitool sdr type Temperature Temp | 01h | ns | 3.1 | Disabled Planar Temp | 04h | ok | 7.1 | 30 degrees C Temp Interface | 53h | ns | 7.1

Hi, I want to use Xen on a current Testing using the amd64 architecture. I want to use the i386 architecture for the laster Xen guests. The hardware is a Intel Xeon 5130 (Woodcrest) with the Vanderpool support. Two harddisk are used as a Linux software raid 1. Installing the hypervisor and rebooting worked like a charm since the bootmenu of grub has also been updates:) The hypervisor is running: # uname -a Linux mars 2.6.17-2-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 18:35:45 CEST 2006...

Hi, VMWare has been a great tool for me to experiment with CentOS 3 and CentOS 4. However, I'm running into issues with CentOS 5. First, it is *extremely* slow to boot (as in it takes over an hour to boot CentOS 5 on a machine that boots CentOS 3 & 4 in less than one minute). Then, after an hour of slowly watching the messages go by on the console and the CPU of the host machine pegged
