Funny, this is exactly what I need my workstation for, and still can't
make up our minds between an IBM Intelllistation or a Tyan based
machine...

[suse-amd64] advise to upgrade my java devpt workstation to desktop
amd64 or opteron amd64
Hi to al & esp to Andreas Jaeger
I'm seeking for advise to upgrade my workstation to amd64 platform.
OS: suse 9.1
main usage: (ejb/servlet swt gui java development )
typical session load:
Eclipse-gtk, or Websphere Dev Studio +
Jboss or WebSphere App Server or Tomcat +
oracle & mysql dbs +
vmware sometimes (with XP loaded )
Question: 1. what proc to choose ?
1 desktop Amd Athlon 64 3400 (2.2 GHz)
or
2 x amd opteron 242 ( 1.6 Ghz)
Are there java performance gains when using opterons which will
justify +300$ price difference apart from a reason from sun that it will
ship a jvm tuned specifically for amd64 opteron?
2. 1 or 2 Gig RAM Memory ?
on my current ahtlon 1400 , 768 Meg Ram the WebSphere App
Server takes almost 1.5 min to boot. I'd like to decrease this time
.
Thank you for you comments.
