Our db server running 7.1 got *torched* today, system ran between 30% an
80% CPU all day! Right now the server is running on a Penguin Computing
800mhz PIII w/ 128 ram and IDE hardware.
Tomorrow I'd like to place an order for something more robust... looking
into dual PIII, gig of ram and SCSI Raid. Planning on running Red Hat 7.1
on this machine.
Before I order, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or
recommendations. I have been considering getting a Sun machine... but I
don't know if there is a benefit. Also, are there any special
considerations when running RAID and dual CPU?
You're input is tremendously appreciated!
