Celeron M 1.46GHz vs. Core Duo Processor 1.60GHz
I am trying to determine if there is a measurable difference in performance
to be expected between using a Celeron M 1.46GHz vs. Core Duo 1.60GHz for a
LTSP server.
Other specs will be:
1 MB L2 Cache / 533Mhz FSB / 1 GB Ram / 60 GB 7200RPM Sata Drive / Multiple
LAN interfaces
The machine will serve a total of 4 PXE boot clients (maximum of 6).
I intend to use the Xubuntu LTSP installation (preferred for its lightweight
and efficiency). The applications my users will use will be:
- Firefox web browser (built into the distribution)
- Adobe Flash plug in added to browser
- GAIM IM client
- Terminal (majority of work applications are terminal based)
- A PDF reader (to be determined)
- OpenOffice on an extremely limited basis (maybe 1 user, once a month if
that often)
- VNC on the server (to access the remote clients for
support/troubleshooting)
File and printing services, as well as application services are handled by
other machines on the network.
I am using a ultra compact form factor server platform (space constraints)
so not alot of options on processors, the two I noted are my options.
Anyone with any experience with a similar configuration and usage scenario.
TIA!
