Ubuntu 8.10 x64. Java is java version "1.6.0_12" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)
Here's AMD's rundown of the difference between the CPUs: http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUSideBySide.aspx?id=522&id=59 Note that I'm still using the original AM2 motherboard with the same DDR2-800 memory. The fact that it's AM2 means that the Phenom is downgrading its HyperTransport to the same speed as the Athlon X2 for bus access. I suppose I could benchmark it to see how it performs for other tasks. I'm not sure how much an SSD would help. I'll run a build and monitor iostat to see how much data transfer goes to/from the HDDs, but my machine typically runs a file cache of about 800-900MB of memory (6GB total), so I would suspect that most of what maven needs gets sucked into the cache.
