Dual core Servers
 

Anyody build or running a dual core cpu in there server or servers? If so, what speed and brand?

I am not running a dual core server but Dell makes some pretty nice Dual core servers at a decent price. You may want to look into that. :)

We started offering Dual Core Pentium 4's and have been benchmarking them and comparing agianst other systems, they really have made some improvements, if your interested I could post the results.

I built a dual Opteron processor server that will eventually be used for hosting various sites including Linux Server Talk. I've been considering switching the processors in the server to be two dual-core Opterons so that I have 4 cores in the server total. From what I've read and what I've heard, the dual-core systems perform quite well as expected. Currently this site is running on a single dual-core pentium 4 processor. It does the job well, but if all of my sites continue to grow as they are the 4 cores will be quite beneficial to have.

I have crrently have 5 dual core P4 2.8 Gz machine in service. They have performed up to our expectations.
