hi list sorry i'm going to ask a very dump question however I need you gurus suggestions :) we are going to order new machine for cache/proxy server "squid" we are already running cache servers all on Intel plateform This time we want to give a try to AMD processor, what you ppl things which processor would be benfiical 1) Athlon 32bit or 64bit? 2) opetron ? I far i can understand, I don't think 64 bit will significantly improve performance for cache/proxy servers. 64 bit is worth it only for computationally intensive tasks, imho. At least with ordinary working set sizes. users to support 250 pipe to internet : 2 mbit users are dynamic not a corporate users, but dialup users. I will appreciate if someone using AMD gimme suggestions which... processor to select + mobo + ram (3 gb would be enough?) + 3 x 36 gb (sata)? Thanks and regards
