Hello,
I'm new to this database stuff, and usually looked at benches for gaming. I'm using some office software that runs Java to access a postgre SQL server database. Any idea of what processor would be the best for this? They are providing the server, which is a pentium 4 524 3.06ghz 1mb cache, with 1024mb ram, 80gb harddrive, xpress 200 ati graphics. All I need help with is the client machines. They recommend 512mb memory and a pentium 4 2.0ghz or better.
I was wondering if a setup like this would benefit from dual core at all, or if this really is a waste. Also, and idea of AMD vs INTEL? I have usually gone amd in the past for gaming. I'd like to keep with something i'm familiar with and already have extra spare parts at home (in case something breaks I can fix rather quickly). I have a socket 939 opteron 144 at home, and a socket 754 sempron machine at home and they all use ddr memory. hope that makes sense.
I'm trying to decide between spending a bit extra and getting a decent opteron system, vs a amd x64 chip, vs a cheapo intel 2.0ghz+ system. I'm just wondering in real world performance if there will be really any benefit to spending the extra right now.
thanks for any insight.
