RE: Which SMP CPU for FreeBSD 6.2?



$159.00 Range
Dual Opteron 246
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
+ $30 and get Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz

$209.00 Range
Dual Opteron 252
+$10 Opteron 2214 2.2Ghz

$239.00 Range
Xeon 5130 2.0GHz Woodcrest
Clovertown 5310 1.6Ghz

$279.00 Range
Woodcrest 5160 Dual Core Dual 3Ghz
Opteron 2216 HE 2.4GHz

I would suggest Intel C2D E6600 with 2 GB of RAM and fast hd ;)<

People seem to be happy with that CPU.

Thank you for your response!

Back then the AMD Opteron had it hands down. The trade press seems to
be indicating the pendulum has swung the other way and AMD is in
trouble, especially since the Barcelona miss. Also, over the past two
years I've read how code is optimized more for the Intel. I'd like
your opinion on which way to go on a new server by picking one for
each category. For the same price I can get:
