Is this going to work? Any thoughts? I've got a PR200 in one server, which works well. Just dogs out for any number crunching. Tried processing an 800MB log with Analog and it was slowwwww. Go AMD if you don't want to give money to Intel (what they still want for Pentium!). You pay a bit more, but should have better performance, if you need it that is. My server is almost idle with 200K dns hits/day and few hundred e-mails. Just don't plan to process http logs on it. Plenty of memory for such a large log, but too slow. No stability problems. And don't forget: options "NO_F00F_HACK" In your kernel. Didn't bother with any of the other options in LINT, which were for older pre-MII processors.
