Help me choose between AMD or INTEL SERVER!

[Abbedi]

When you don't have graphic card or dvd unit, it's better only in one way - uses less electricity.
But graphic card is useless if you will manage it remotely, which I prefer.
You can try Intel i7 processor, or new AMD 40 Watt, six core. Just take a look.
And it's sometimes better to use one core processor, as TFS can only run on one core I think, so you can just buy AMD 5500+ or something like that (it's cheap now).

Yo How do u know that TFS only runs with 1 core? And why just with 1 core ?

 

[Abbedi]

For hosting, Intel is best. As for RAM, you should buy 4 GB. It's cheap today anyway.

@up
Ye, but the other cores can handle the eventually email, mysql & web server.

Yo.

If i'm going to use Real map TFS mystic spirit 0.2.5 with mysql, acc page.

Which processor do u prefer then? i mean is it enough with 2 cores for that or what?

 

[cirtaboy]

Intel all the way.

Intel Core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bro you dont need the best processor for a server ? becauce its just waste and ofc i'm going to buy the i9 as gaming comp when it comes out

Now: Tell me good processor, ram for server ?

 

[zniC]

E8400 and a pack of 2x2GB DDR2 800MHz. CL5 or CL4

 

[Abbedi]

Ok all i think that i'm going to choose AMD processor and 4GB of ram..


Anyway which OS should i use? i mean which works good with servers? I dont know something about linux etc, only windows xp,vista etc

 

[sleepy chronos]

for host and game AMD is the best because thier technology direct connection to cores. fast digitalization, and image support..

AMD IS CHEAPER.
AMD is the best

 

[Abbedi]

Which OS should i use for my AMD server?

 

[Abbedi]

Hey! I'm going to use AMD as server. Can anyone tell me which processor to use? And how much ram xD?

Btw: Which OS should i use to? i dont know something about ubuntu.

 

[zniC]

Actually, get an intel xeon if linux isnt for you, use windows server 03

 

[Abbedi]

Isn't the latest windows server 2008 better? or what?

 

[zniC]

From what I heard it's like comparing XP with vista, stuffed with shit. Your server will most likely perform better with windows server 2003.
Could be wrong, but I feel confident

 

[Abbedi]

Ok i think to i'll use win server 2003.

Anyway: How many cores do you think i need for my server ? Dual? X3 x4?

 

[zniC]

AMD Phenom II X3 720 should be enough. Get a decent cpu cooler aswell and clock it a bit.

 

[Abbedi]

I dont think its good clock a processor when u will have it working for server 24/7 ?

 

[zniC]

It's no problem if you have a decent cpu cooler.

 

[Abbedi]

Hey Znic, I think i'll choose Intel ?

Then Which processor do i need + memory (Ram) + motherboard

Yours Abbedi
