Hi,
Need some more advice.
Now the question is, is it better to go with 2 core or 4 core?
The reason for this question is, that I heard there is a diminishing
return with more cores. Not sure if this is true with kernel 2.6.21 and
running at 64bit.
The server needed to built is for the following apps.
Hardware.
1. Tyan Tank GT20 (B5191)
2. 2 x Sata drives
3. Software raid 1
4. 4Gb ram ecc
5. Intel Core2Duo E6420 or Intel Core2Quad E6600
Apps.
1. Gentoo linux 64bit
2. Apache 2
3. MySql
4. Postgres
5. Qmail
6. Pure-ftpd
7. Mod_perl
8. php
9. ruby
Will all the instances of the apps be shared among the cores?
Please share the comments.
I would really like to save some money. If the 2 core can do the job
there is quite a bit of savings buying just the 2 core.
The other option is just to go with Pentium D with 2 core. That one is a
real saver.
Please advice.
P.V.Anthony
