[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Who the hell isn't going to have ECC Memory in a Server anyhow?
Can you get Xeon Motherboards that won't run on ECC memory? To be honest I've never even bothered to check, its not even something you think about when making the decisions on these sorts of boxes. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Deadman Standing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [hlds] AMD or Intel?

For xenon try: http://techreport.com/reviews/2004q2/opteron-x50/index.x?pg=1 The truth is if you get the latest processors of AMD or Intel you will have a butt kicking server. What I pulled from theses articles is Intel has to be clocked about 1 ghz ABOVE AMD to match the AMD's performance. The Opteron is a solid processor but it requires registered memory which is about $50 a gig more expensive than non-registered RAM. Hope this helps, It has worked well for me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Garner Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 1:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] AMD or Intel? Hi people, It's that old war again and I need to choose sides. :) We are going to be building a bunch of 1U servers. For roughly the same price I have a choice between: AMD Athlon XP 3200 or Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz Prescott socket 478 or Dual Xeon 3.0 GHz The dual Xeon's are about 1.5x the price of the other two but I figure they're at least 1.5x the performance/capacity so they're my favoured option currently. Although I've had good results with dual Athlon's before I'm not considering them this time around because the Athlon MPs seem to be lagging behind the XPs technologically, with lower GHz and slower FSB. Anyway, I am just wondering if anybody has made any side by side performance comparisons lately for HLDS on these CPU platforms. What's your pick? cheers -Simon _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find love today with ninemsn personals.
