Server power comparison
Can anyone give me a general idea of "server horsepower".For example:P3-500
1meg cache Xeon 4 processors 1gig ram vs say Dual P3(plain ol') 1100mhz 1gig ram Both systems running win2k server 100 clients,main useage Sybase database. I'm trying to put together a backup/replication/storage server. on the cheap,i.e.ebay and such.Some seemingly good deals come up on "older tech" stuff Our main server is a Dual xeon 1.5 1gig ram.That is more than adequate. Is there a formula,or a web site or?...to compare, dual vs quad,xeon(in various cache sizes) vs. p3,etc.I think you know what I'm getting at. I don't know quite where to start to find the advantage of 4 xeon processors with slower speeds,vs standard p3 with higher speeds,for my application.Any tips and/or pointers would be very much appreciated.Adysthemic |

Can't answer the question asked, but I would strongly recommend adding
memory. 1GB seems puny with 100 users accessing a database program.... -- Regards, Hank Arnold "Adysthemic" wrote in message ...
