Tru,

The hardware works, but the moment I start running server based
application (i.e. XEN VPS's), then the load goes very high. I'm
running CentOS Linux on it, and was thinking this would be a great
place to get help, but I can see that I'm wrong, since the hardware
that I chose to use (and can afford in my country) is clearly not the
right choice of hardware to use.

And although you're right in saying that a hardware problem is
off-topic, I need a way to prove to the suppliers that it is in fact a
problem with the hardware. Since everything works fine when you switch
it on, yet when I start-up the XEN virtual machines, the load goed
exsesively high. I have reinstalled the OS, but since I use yum to
update to the latest version of everything, it could very well be a OS
/ kernel / software bug as well. I don't know, and I was hoping to get
some insight on it from this list.

My other choice is to go and purchase Windows & install it, to see
what happens. Then, if the same problem persists I can say it's
hardware, if not, then it's software related.


Sorry for sounding so rude in my earlier posts, I just spend 3 days
without sleep @ the datacentre trying to sort this out, and I need to
tell my clients why the machine performs so poorly compared to the
previous one which only has a Core 2 Dou CPU with 4GB RAM in it. See
my problem?
