When we clear all caches the server needs like 5 min to recover on 9 siteacccess with one cache dir. I was wondering if one could give an estimate on rather we should use a dual core with 3GHz clocking or a QUAD core with 1,6 GHz clocking as our next hardware. My estimate would be that a dual core would improve our situation more as a quad, since apache might be faster processing a single thread when having a clocking of 3GHz. What do you think?

Also consider the AMD Opteron platform, they don't have plans to change their new socket any time soon, so a socket f / 1207 should last way into the quadro era and possible further. Also while Intel has cached up a big bit the last half year moving away from the Netburst (pentium4) architecture, AMD is mostly still the king of price / performance / watt. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

Hi,
I like to gather some opinitions.

We have a website with rather lower traffic but an imense complex pagelayout. When we clear all caches the server needs like 5 min to recover on 9 siteacccess with one cache dir.

I was wondering if one could give an estimate on rather we should use a dual core with 3GHz clocking or a QUAD core with 1,6 GHz clocking as our next hardware.

What do you think?
