Hi,
After that great thread on 32bit vs 64bit, I was wondering if it would be
beneficial at this point to drill down to the CPU level : AMD vs Intel.
We had a great thread a while ago the AMD CPU, however I do not think that
thread covered memory management.
I almost went for an AMD CPU this go around (I have a couple from prior
purchases), however after hearing that AMD does some weird memory management at
the core level, assigning memory by the bank to each core, I thought I would go
with an Intel CPU.
If I understand this correctly, It sounds like under some or most circumstances
the server will lose a portion of the total memory because under AMD RAM is
assigned at the core level and bank level. I assume Intel uses memory as a
pool. Need memory just grab some until it is gone.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
