Hi,
sorry if we had this already.
Supposed I wanted to setup a real big postgresql-server for some heavy big
webpage running under linux, what would be the best choice regarding
price/performance?
(Basic system with raid and 10k-scsi drives presumed)
quadro Xeon 700 Mhz (1024 kb cache), 4 GB ECC Ram
or
dual Athlon MP fastest possible (1800+), 2-4 GB DDR-Ram
or
single P4 2.53+, 2-4 GB Rambus / DDR-Ram
Does postgresql scale well enough to use the quadro xeon to its capacity?
What exactly does the 1024 kb L2-cache do for postgresql? What about the 2/4
GB mem issue with Linux?
Is this xeon system in your opinion worth the (great) additional costs?
Should I take 2 dual athlon systems and play a bit with rserv, usogres,
eRserver? (how much is this eRserver anyway?)
What are your experiences with high-end x86-systems and postgresql under
Linux/Fbsd ?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Greetings,
Bjoern
