I have never worked with a XEON CPU before. Does anyone know how it performs
running PostgreSQL 7.3.4 / 7.4 on RedHat 9 ? Is it faster than a Pentium 4?
I believe the main difference is cache memory, right? Aside from cache mem,
it's basically a Pentium 4, or am I wrong?
Well, see the problem is

The machine is going to be used for a pretty large database (well over 100
tables with some of them containing over a million records from the start,
number of tables and records will grow (much?) larger in the future). This
database is going to be used by a pretty large number of employees. The

This machine will contain a PERC4/Di RAID controller with 128MB of battery
backed cache memory. The O/S and logfiles will be placed on a RAID-1 setup
of two 36Gb SCSI-U320 drives (15.000rpm). Database
I have considered Opteron, yes. But I think there are too many
uncertainties, like :
* It's a new CPU that has not proven itself yet.
* I don't think I can buy directly from IBM (according to their site), so
how about support (24x7) ? This will be very important to our client.
* I need to install

So that brings up my question, which is better, the Perc4 or Perc3
controllers, and what's the difference between them? I find Dell's
tendency to hide other people's hardware behind their own model numbers
mildly bothersome, as it
Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with putting PostgreSQL data on a NAS
device?
I am asking this because a NAS device is much cheaper to set up than a
couple of SCSI disks. I would like to use a relatively cheap NAS device
which uses four IDE drives (7.200 rpm), like the Dell PowerVault

Even better than the four-disk NAS I mentioned earlier is the following:
Promise UltraTrak RM8000. This is a so-called SCSI-to-IDE RAID system.
Basically it's a RAID setup of eight IDE disks, using a hardware RAID
engine, that's connected to (in this case) the PostgreSQL server via a SCSI
