Re: AMD server MB - 800Mhz or 1Ghz HT?

It was my first AMD based server so I really couldn't say. Just commentng
that it's a good platform to start from. I used an Opteron 146 with 1 GHz.
It's a small office. The server doesn't have a very heavy workload. With a
larger load a dual core would probably be better.

Michael and Kerry: Thanks for the replies! It looks like the Tyan
PX22 is 1Ghz HT capable. So, are you saying that the 1Ghz is the way
to go? The two vendors I use for hardware don't have a Tyan
motherboard with 1Ghz. So, I'd end up having to go with the Asus in
that case.

I have to agree. Just installed a Tyan PX22 based server. It's a
very nice starting point for a server. I usually use Intel boards
but wanted to try an AMD based server. I may not go back to Intel.
Have to see how it performs in the real world but in testing it was
great. --

I have deployed a recent SBS server environment using the Tyan PX22
barebones which included the S2865G2NR motherboard. Using the
dual-core AMD Opteron, I haven't had any problems whatsoever. In
fact, the installation time to do it was much faster than on a dual
Xeon server I had built by Dell.

There is one note: If you consider getting the barebone kit, there
is no 3 1/2" floppy space panel. You have to use a 5 1/4" space w/ 3
1/2" floppy adapter kit. Other than that, the system screams and has
alot of HD space and plenty of room for future upgrades, etc.

I'm looking at an Asus server motherboard for our new server and
Asus has one that looks decent that has HyperTransport at 1Ghz. I
also was looking at a Tyan server motherboard that has 800Mhz for
HyperTransport.

I'm wondering if I will notice a difference between the 800Mhz HT
and the 1Ghz HT?

It's for SBS2K3 Prem. (won't be using SQL...at least in the
foreseeable future).
