Hello dear Linux SMP'ers I'm currently looking forward for a SMP Linux system dedicated to high volume realtime database transactions (Informix Dynamic Server) for astronomy/astrophysics cataloging applications. No need to state that the platform must be rock solid. Could anyone tell me which multiprocessor Intel Motherboards and chipsets have been successfuly tested and operated in Linux SMP mode with either PIII Copermine core or PIII Xeon processors ? There is currently an alternative between the OR840 MOBO (i840) (but the RAMBUS is so expensive that i doubt it would be a viable solution) and another server based box: the SC450NX running the 450NX chipset with up to four PIII Xeon CPU's. I would like to have some comments and suggestions regarding such systems, however, i'd like to stick to Intel MOBO/chipset brand for some obvious support reason.
