You might look at Opteron's, which theoretically have a higher data bandwidth. If you're doing anything data intensive, like a sort in memory, this could make a difference.
Would Opteron systems need 64-bit postgresql (and os, gcc, ...) build to have that advantage?

RAID10 will be faster than RAID1.
Sorry Jim, by RAID10 you mean several raid1 arrays mounted on different linux partitions? Or several raid1 arrays that build up a raid0 array? In the latter case, who decides which data goes in which raid1 array? Raid Adapter?

I'll do a search, thank you.
