I'm one of the few Dell fans around here... but I must say that I
don't buy them for my big DB servers specifically since they don't
Vivek,
Thanks for your feedback. Which Dell server did you purchase?
The client has a PowerEdge 2600 and they STILL want Dell. Again, if it
were my pocketbook, Dell would not be there.
The client has a 30GB DB. This is large for me, but probably not with
you. Also, I am advising the client

I have many many dell rackmounts: 1550, 1650, 1750, 1850, and SC1425
and throw in a couple of 2450.
I *really* like the 1850 with built-in SCSI RAID. It is fast enough
Dave, Joshua, Scott (and all),
Thanks for your feedback, while I do appreciate it, I did not intent on
making this discussion buy this instead...I whole-heartly agree with
you. Joshua, you made the best comment, it is a business decision for
the client. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.

And how old are the 2600's now?
Anyhoo, I'm not saying the current machines are excellent performers or
anything, but there are good business reasons to run them if you don't
need to squeeze out every last pony.

Yeah, We've got a mix of 2650
I have a client who is running Postgresql 7.4.x series database
(required to use 7.4.x). They are planning an upgrade to a new server.
They are insistent on Dell.
I have personal experience with AMD dual Opteron, but I have not seen
any benchmarks on Intel's dual core Xeon. I've seen in the past

Then they're being insistent on poor performance.
If you search for dell postgresql
My suggestion is to look at something like this:
http://www.abmx.com/1u-supermicro-amd-opteron-rackmount-server-p-210.html
1U rackmount opteron from Supermicro that can have two dual core
opterons and 4 drives and up to 16 gigs of ram. Supermicro server
motherboards have always treated me
