Looking for any good or bad experiences. > We looked at the T1000/T2000 initially. We eliminated the T1000 because of the lack of redundant power supplies. We evaluated the T2000 with a 1x8core chip and 8 gig of memory. The general feeling from users was, "It seemed slower". They where currently running on V240's with 2 proc and 8 gig of memory. It does appear that CDE/GNOME uses some floating point, so only having one FPU per socket was probably the reason. We wanted to run our performance tests on the Niagra2 chip, but never got around to it. I think if you go to the T2000, you will find that it will run slower but everyone will feel the same slowness and will not suffer from massive performance spikes when people are hammering the server as we do in the V240 model. One thing that also changes was moving from Sol9 to Sol10 as the Niagra only supports 10. I think our new model will be to run on top of quad-core x86 systems running sol10x86 ;-) This is what I run at home and love it.
