Hi guys, I'm have the rare opportunity to spec the hardware for a new database server. It's going to replace an older one, driving a social networking web application. The current server (a quad opteron with 4Gb of RAM and 80Gb fast SCSI RAID10) is coping with an average load of ranging between 1.5 and 3.5. The new machine spec I have so far: 2 x Intel Xeon 2.33 GHz Dual Core Woodcrest Processors 4 Gb RAM 5x73 GB Ultra320 SCSI RAID 5 (288 GB storage) I've heard that RAID 5 is not necessarily the best performer. Also, are there any special tricks when partition the file system? Regards, Willo
