Better performance, 1 Xeon 3ghz or 2 P3 1.3ghz?

Right now I run mysql and apache together on a dual p3 1.3ghz box. I
will be moving mysql to a second box, eather an identical dual p3 box
or spending a little more and going for a single Xeon 3Ghz (these are
the only two options I have). I'm thinking of hanging the db box
behind the webserver using a gigabit crossover.

Since I mostly read cached data, I'm leaning towards the dual CPU box
so that when I have a long running query thats hitting the disk, I
most likely will have other queries running on the other CPU reading
from the cache. Is this even what happens? Would the Xeon still be
faster?

Also, I read in the mySQL manual that I'll take a 8-10% hit in
performance when migrating to a second box over using a socket. Having
a dedicated box will allow me to tune mysql to take all the resources
and I assume increase its performance to at least recover the 8-10%,
is that a safe assumption?

I would like some input from wiser people than myself.

Mike

Hi, Does anybody here know of any resource that provides Active Server Page performance on differenct server platforms. I am interested to know what the page/sec, concurrent users (on avarage, this of course depends on other factors) is for Dell PowerEdge servers. I recall that 40page/sec on 800Mhz server a few years ago was really good. What can I expect from a dual PE1750 3GHz Xeon? Any leads is greatly appreciated.

Hi folks, Yesterday I have upgraded my linux box with a pair of Xeon 1G CPU and reinstalled everything (it was a sinle Xeon 700). The default RH9 installation comes with MySQL 3.23.54. After the reinstallation I found the machine was not as responsive as before. (It's not very slow, but some lagging is noticed) I was running Mysql-max 4.0.11 and the performance was ok, except the slowness during the peak hours, which was regarded as...

We are an ASP and are converting our application from VB to VB.NET. Our web farm is a mix of older dual processor 1.2GHz servers and newer dual processor 3.0GHz Xeon servers. When we originally got the new 3.0GHz boxes our VB code thrived on them, dramatically outperforming our 1.2GHz boxes at every load level. Now with the .NET code it appears that under light to moderate load, our 1.2GHz servers are out performing our 3.0GHz boxes. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
