So I'm going to have to stick with 32 bit machines for a bit longer while we find alternatives for some com's we're using that don't work on a 64 bit platform.
>From my research It appears that request speed is directly correlated to CPU >clock, not number of cores, cache, or bus speed. Here are the average page load times from 3 different machines: 2x single core opteron 246 (2Ghz / core): 251ms 2x Dual core Xeon 5160 (3Ghz / core): 196ms 2x Quad core Xeon 5540 (2.53Ghz / core): 261ms We're running database servers on similar Xeon 5540 machines and the SQL performance on those boxes if far better that what we would get with the Opteron's or Xeon 5160's. Does anyone know why requests run on the older generation xeon 5160 would be 20% faster than the current generation 5540? Is the speed of a ColdFusion app purely based on clock speed in anyone elses experience?
