GlideTech 08-12-2002, 10:22 PM Yea where is Xeon? :) JTY 08-12-2002, 10:56 PM What about... Alpha, MIPS, UltraSparc, Power2? mas3000 08-12-2002, 11:41 PM I vote AthlonMP duals. FDrive 08-13-2002, 12:05 AM Originally posted by JTY What about... Alpha, MIPS, UltraSparc, Power2? Well, obviously an UltraSparc would be nice, but I think the person is actually looking to get one of the server types listed... maybe an UltraSparc is out of their price range ;) My vote goes to dual PIIIs. I worry about the cooling of dual Athlons... tilted 08-13-2002, 02:46 AM Depends on how much you want to spend and what your needs are. I mean really, do you need dual Athlons? Is the heat (and associated component failure risk) worth it? If you're talking Intel, I'd go with Dual P3 versus P4. We haven't seen P4s be worth it for most hosting needs. viGeek 08-13-2002, 03:36 AM I would say athlon, but in dual configuration those Pentium 3 512kb Cache(tualtalin core spell), are really good for web hosting so ive heard. They dispense not much heat, and perform very well in bench marks.

We have been buying Dual P3's lately and they are the business :D |
