Also, take a look at: www.step-thermodynamics.com Their primary business is selling specialized cooling systems for processors, which they bond to the processor. As a result they only sell their cooling system with a processor. They provide a lifetime guarantee on what they sell, and they also guarantee that a processor will run at a specific MHz (which in the case of a Celeron 333a processor is 500 MHz if I remember correctly). That particular configuration uses a 100 MHz front side bus speed. A friend of mine has got a couple of dual processor boxes with Abit BP6 motherboards (socket Celeron motherboards) with two Celerons each running at 500 MHz. For any task that requires fast cache, but not a lot it, they are great systems. Jeff On Thu, 30 Mar 2000, Luke Tymowski wrote:
Hello,
Really? What would you put on the Macs? Linux, OS X or MacOS?
Zope won't run on MacOS. It would have to be either Linux or OSX or BSD.
What makes the Celeron superior to the Cobalt-setup in your opinion? I thought the Cobalts where rahter high-speed (full) pentiums and that the Celeron is not well suited for server use??
It runs Python faster than a PIII of the same speed. I'm assuming that's because the cache, while half the size of a standard PIII, runs at full CPU speed. That it supports only a 66MHz bus and memory may cause it to not perform as well under load. I don't know. I don't have the resources to test that sort of thing properly.
There's more to a building a server than its Pystone rating, but it's a start when you start looking at putting together a box.
