Still deciding on what specs to go for the web server since pricing coming down a lot. Should I choose the single Intel Xeon Quad Core 5420 or 2 of the same processors? It seems that I cannot find any information in any search engine.
I have been thinking of I may not need to go for 2 x Quad Core, there are few reasons
- High CPU Loading seems like not really happened due to the site we served on this server mostly will be private
- Even I have super power 2 x Quad Core but can the 100mbps LAN able to be fully utilized?
- With the money saving for the 2nd processor, I may able to get a Mac Mini as for backup
If anyone got some good suggetion then please let me know.
The other specs for this Dell PowerEdge 1950 will be
- 4GB (2 x 2GB) memory
- 2 x 300GB SAS 15K rpm HDD
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet
- Redundant Power Supply
Cheers
