Sounds a bit strange.. > Doesn't seem most server workloads are memory limited tho. My server workloads most certainly are memory limited, but that is mostly image analysis and such. This means several hundred megs of bitmaps in memory that need to be compared and then new ones created with the data from the analysis. At work we have ~150 Intel servers (P4 and up only) and about 30 AMD servers. All new ones being ordered are AMD. ~80% is servers from Supermicro. What we see is a _HUGE_ boost in database performance. Also mailgateways (spam/antivirus scanning) gets a very nice boost. We havent noticed any difference for webhosting servers. -HK _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
