Pratham,
Dual processor: I would use the new
Opteron dual core processors this way you get a 4-way machine on a 2 processor
mother board.
2.5GB Ram: I would up that to 6GB+
SCSI Drives: Make them as fast as possible
(15K rpm) and preferably in a hardware raid configuration.
Yes all the 32bit intel
apps will run on these processors.
Not sure about Redhat 7/Dual processors
but probably.

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Server
Configuration for 40 LTSP THIN CLIENTS .
Hi all LTSPians,
We are in the verge of expansion of our office
and we have decided to have LTSP architecture for the same .
We will be having round about 40 Thin Clients Running
simultaneously in full graphical mode .
we want to have KDE , Openoffice , Mozilla or any othe browser , etc . running
on all the 40 clients
We need to finalize on the Server Configuration which will
remain stable for the above given case .
We only want to have
not more than a single server with ( WE DONT WANT TO HAVE TWO
SERVERS )
dual processor and
upto 2.5 GB of ram (ram can be upgraded ) .
SCSI Drives or (any thing better than that as you say)
BUT we are only stucked into the processor
configuration
I am having following questions in my mind .
1) can we run all intel based applications on the AMD Processor
(like sybase for i386 processor and so on )
2) can a 32 bit application run on a 64 bit Processor
3) IS Red HAT 7.3 capable of detecting a dual processor , and will it support
two 64 bit processor's.
It will be great of you if you could guide me through this ASAP because
we can't afford to change the configuration after the entire setup is done
& I also don't want this Project to be a failure . Please
Help me on this .
