<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I was all set to begin setting up a server using a dual
processor AMD because I have one gathering dust. I’m told that I don’t
need a “server” but a 1U was given to me and the opportunity to
mount it at a data center. I don’t see a 64-bit distro so I’m
assuming that only x86? The 64-bit AMD Opteron 275 as I recall can use the
instruction set of x86 and I’m okay with overkill. I thought that if I
had anything extra I could maybe share with the less fortunate, although I don’t
know my own needs yet. This server has 8GB of RAM and I was going to change the
RAID to a SD drive. I’ve loaded CentOS many, many times and I know that
the standard distro can handle a dual processor but can the Acid distro? I
guess I figured that if a P4 2.8GHz can handle 4 nodes than a dual processor
should be able to handle 8 if the kernel allows a dual proc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

tell me if I can use what I have and save some money. I don’t need to get
all fancy; I was trying to save money and buy the RTCM.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
