Best for the money if they are free. Honestly, all the Xeons mentioned here have a per thread rating that is dismal compared to a basic quad core i7 rig which can be had for refurb prices. There's a reason they are cheap.
Looks like most of these responses are based on the limited world of gaming, over-clocking and not real business use.
Anybody badmouthing the p3 Tualatin never used one in a dedicated application server role. My >1.26 ghz dual processor P3 tualatin Citrix and Terminal Servers were absolute...
As the PC industry grinds to a death we have to read this crud.
My main rig is an i7 2600 I got for cheap in 2012. However, because the core efficacy is so high it continues to kick butt and do everything I need today. Plays any game I want and rips through lightroom like a scalded dog...
That's because modern Western Christianity has been altered and distorted over the centuries especially right after the Catholic Reformation so that you can basically do whatever you want to your fellow man and you can still 'be saved'. It's the ultimate religion for the civilized, modern masses...
I can just see myself replacing some patch cables in my corporate gigs with flat - the Network staff, particularly the "Network Engineers" (who basically sit and do nothing all day) would start foaming at the mouth in temper tantrums. I would love it.
As long as it's twisted and structurally...
Why? Because some companies still have 32bit processors and have a policy that they don't retire workstations until they die. These places still run XP and Vista, and if you have an app that requires Win7 or higher they will install it on a P4.
I see the above far more than 16bit needs.
If this is indeed a true server build then it's impossible to offer suggestions without knowing what applications are going to be run.
If you plan on running Vmware on this box good luck getting those consumer SATA controllers to work with ESX.
If it's just a file server then the money is...
10GbE ports or upgrading to a fully managed 1Gb switch won't make local storage on a server run faster, and that's going to be the next bottleneck.
I'm betting the OP is confusing mbps with MBps.
10MBps is about right for a 10/100 switch that's saturated.
25MBps is about right for a...
I support all of the Windows desktop OS's including some legacy systems still running on Win2k.
Biggest advantage of Win10 over Win7 is Win10 is significantly more efficient and quicker when it comes to portables. No question that Win10 on a laptop or tablet is more productive than Win7 for too...
Most vinyl records are cut from digital masters anyways. It's like all the analog film freaks scanning film with their dSLR and claiming how much better the film is than digital.
Note I say "most". There are some studios trying to go back to direct analog lathe masters, but it isn't easy. Sony...
Goes like this...basically you think more cores that do less work makes your 'puter multitask better when there's no benchmark or application set I've ever seen that proves it. Other than that, I have no issue with AMD...just wish they'd quite with the nonsense about more cores.
Been running...
I've been switching a lot of utility servers I have (that aren't virtual) to 128GB SDD's for system drives because the prices on those suckers has REALLY dropped to the point the bean counters can't refuse. Those systems will never exceed 50GB at most in their lifetime, so why not?
It's mostly a bunch of marketing baloney to try and draw attention to their product. Obviously a 5400 rpm drive will consume less power than have less iOPS than a 7200rpm drive, and as to why 5400rpm drives still exist defies me. Thing is, nobody uses SATA with tier 1 enterprise storage, and...
ISP supplied routers tend to be garbage and I can tell stories about Comcast business gateways running out of DHCP addresses and other nonsense that can fill up pages of blogs. However, even the really crappy gear can typically handle one or two connections at time without much problem. Where...
