Performance

I know this is not the best place to put my question, but is very important to me.

I need to buy 3 servers in my company and I don't know what machine I buy.

I have two differents machine:
- 8xPentium III 700 Mhz 2 MB Cache;
- 4xItanium 800 Mhz 4 MB Cache.

I will run Sybase 11.9.2 on Linux.

What machine has the best performance, since Sybase is a 32 bits technology.

Thanks in Advance

Andre

Andre-

If you're running IA32 apps and have no intention to run IA64 ones then the Pentium III should run significantly faster than the Itanium. (This is assuming equivalent disks, equivalent size and speed of memory.)

If you every intend to run apps that require 64-bit addressing then things change and Itanium is a better choice.
