We are running on Dual Opteron 244's and 246's right now... While no 'noticed' performance gain in terms of samba, we really have not anything to compare to because we really only recently converted over to samba/ldap domain for our file servers.
I will say though, that the O/S and mysql have seen a huge improvement in speed, but again perhaps biased based on the fact that we went from slower servers to these dual opteron machines too; difficult to say if any noticeable difference from 32 to 64 bit. I do notice a difference in userland on my laptop running in 32 bit vs 64 bit though; because I've installed and ran both versions of the O/S on here just to see, (AMD Athlon 64 3200+ CPU in my laptop). We're stictly FreeBSD shop here though; no Linux... No ideas on performance differences with other O/S's either. Notably though, even windows runs faster as 32 bit software because the memory controller/pipeline issues make x86_64 that much faster in terms of pure 32 bit performance. In short - don't really know, but do know the machines themselves are faster than equivelent clock-cycling 32 bit machines, even if only running pure 32 bit software. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmplt.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 12:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Samba] samba3 x86_64 performance Hi all, has anyone had any experience with samba3 on a X86_64 system. Are there any significant performance benefits ? cheers Stephan -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
