What processor do you use on your server.

INTEL is best for Normal Servers, AMD is good for Gaming Servers

Here's my specs

AMD XP 1600+
256 DDR Ram
40 gig HD

Not bad for a 23 site server, and perfect uptime.

It mainly depends on what your doing. If you doing alot of mysql things, then a intel p4 would be best, unless u were thinking about a celeron and hten a athlon would be better, but in some cases the celeron woudl be better (1.3 ghz version) because of the increased cache size of that cpu over the 2.0 version of 128kbit

hope that helps

Dual 2.4Ghz Xeon with 4GB ram. Kernel compiles times are quick quick quick

Wow I would guess so.
Pretty powerful machines Rus
How many sites on average would be on one of those servers?

What could it cope with?

Thats not as true these days - a good guideline would be Intel for Windows and AMD for Linux.

We run exclusively Linux, but as of right now run all Intel boxes. We would rather run AMD, but this is what our DC offers..

Oh well, maube one day soone we can start adding AMD boxes

 

[wsac]

I will use Intel Server

 

[RobAPI]

Intel P4
I use AMD only on my home computers, I would like to get an AMD box soon and see how it performs.

I havent used Intel for years in my own computers but have never tried AMD as a server

 

[Rapid Host]

also dual intel xeon here

i have had alot too, in the past 4 months i went from a celeron to P4 to a dual xeon

Yes by far the dual xeon is the best

 

[Rapid Host]

by the way i don't have all 4 of those kinds of servers, i stick with the dual xeon, let this be a lesson to all of you that saving money on your server specs won't help you @ all.

 

[turnkey]

I have:

3 Intel celeron 2.4 Ghz
1 Intel P4 2.4 Ghz
1 Intel P4 2.8 Ghz
3 Intel celeron 1.7

I like the Intel as you can see

Am hosting on a Intel server

 

[Vovex Technology]

I used to be an all out AMD fan until about the AMD 1800+ Athlon. Thats about the time intel released its 2.4Ghz with 800FSB H/T

That processor will kill any AMD processor (besides the 64bit). I also like going with Intel because of the warranty program. Intel offers 3 years on processor and board, compared to AMD and lets say Asus which have a 1 year.

I dont have any web hosting servers right now... but I do have a nice Pentium 2.8GHz 800FSB H/T with a Intel BOXD865PERLL motherboard running 2 80GB WesterDigital WD800JD's (SATA) as a file server at my house. That thing seems to be kicking rather good.

 

[imported_Antsbiz]

I run a Windows server with dual AMD MP 2200's, 1.5gb RAM, and mirrored 120 SATA drives with 256mb controller cache. This seems to handle anything I can through at it.

 

[imported_maxhest]

Hmmm No Mac XSERVS.. suprised, software seems pretty nice.
