Please excuse me for this off-topic post. This was posted in freebsd-hardware with very low response and I personally think this could be of interest of most of you. I would like to hear from Athlon-based server owners/admins how does it performs with server tasks. My aim is to find out how good is a Pentium III chip for a server instead a low-cost, high-performance Athlon CPU. I would consider, for evaluation purposes, a (FreeBSD) system running Apache/PHP/mod_ssl and MySQL mainly, because they're pretty sensitive to user-response. So, which are the pros and cons of having a Intel based server or a AMD based server? "Add-in" topic: how DDR-memory instead SDRAM affects server performance? Once again, sorry for the off-topic and thank you. --- Conrado Vardanega cvarda@ig.com.br To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
