Hello misc,
My company is upgrading a number of our servers, and I've been browsing
the various lists and Google'ing to find answers to the following...
We're looking at ordering a number of the dell PowerEdge 2900 machines
for a number of applications (mostly database/web). In configuring
these, we're weighing our options on choosing one of the following
setups:
1. Two Intel dual core 5130's (2GHz w/ 4MB cache @ 1333MHz fsb), or
2. One Intel quad core E5310 (1.6GHz w/ 2x4MB cache @ 1066MHz fsb)
I've been trying to figure out if these are supported at this time, and
so far on the lists I've found "Yes" but with a few instances of
stability problems.
My questions are:
1. Are both of these cpu's supported and stable at this time?
2. In your opinion, for a set of DB servers (postgresql) and web
servers (apache base w/ php 5), which of the options above
(2 dual core or 1 quad core) would OpenBSD work best with?
Many thanks,
-George C.
