It has mirrored drives... Do your think that cvs + subversion will get any benefit from 2gb vs 1gb?
I think if your new server is only going to be used as SVN server for 15 developers and nothing else (it's not a public server etc.), then it's certainly not necessary to have lots of CPU power. It won't be used, even if you stored lots of binary data or had fancy hook scripts. I would consider a decent network connection, fast disks and a good backup mechanism as more relevant than CPU power. As others mentioned, it's difficult to answer general questions like yours because there's not enough information given. In general, I would consider an increase in RAM size more worthwhile than an increase in CPU power for any system that is not going to be CPU-bound anyway or used in HPC environments. I know of people who bought a P4 3.0 GHz with 512 MB RAM and told me that they couldn't afford to buy more RAM because of their budget limitation. However, it doesn't make sense - if they bought a 2.6 GHz P4 and 2 GB RAM, they would have been better off, for the same price... Th. PS. Why do you want to use SVN and CVS? You can import CVS into SVN repositories. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
