Recommended Server Spec

Hi,
 one other thing you should consider is the cpu and
bandwidth.

I think your xeon chips are dual core, but they are a poor
dual core.
You see, there is only one memory manager, and if both cores
are doing 
high volume memory work, the total throughput is similar to
to just one 
core....

I see, can you recommend a CPU please?

Out of interest Derek, who would you order a cluster of
servers from?

Thanks

Ben

Ben,
 I am currently using on my development box a
 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
which is doing well, and goes nicely in parallel.

Sorry, I cannot suggest what cpu to get - it is one of those
things you 
will have to read the docs on. 

Derek.
