Robert,

You have plenty of cpu/memory.
Someone else may chime in with better specifics but,
The only potential problems that might arise may be the dual cpu/64 bit in 32bit mode.

I don't know anyone that has tried it, perhaps you may be the first.
I think you should give it a go and let us know if you have problems and perhaps we may know of work arounds for each.
Initial step, just load acid and look for errors on the OS afterwards. Takes less than a hour.

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.
 
I’d appreciate a moment of someone’s time to 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.
 
Thanks in advance.
