Who is claiming that? While it's true that the first and main platform for Linux is x86, I have seen nothing to support that it has better performance or stability on Intel's CPUs over AMD's. This of course assuming that you have no broken or flaky components. If you want to get maximal performance/price, I suggest that you head over to www.anandtech.com and read Anand's test of the 760 chipset, where he tests MySQL performance on several x86 systems. As with all benchmarks one should be careful when interpreting it, and keep in mind that new CPU models appear often. We recently invested in an x86 Linux system to be used as a MySQL/web server, and for about $2000 we got a dual AthlonMP @ 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB IDE HD, and a nice-looking fulltower with lots of fans. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
