Hugo,

Given the additional cost, I'd suggest you stick with a standard
processor, and spend the money in the best cache disk controller you can
find.

For most databases, the most 'expensive' and common operation is disk
I/O.

Subject: [ib-support] Performance on a XEON processor

I hear about the Intel Pentium III XEON processor, which is specially
conceived (builded) for DataBase tasks.
But, it costs five times more money than their Non-Xeon equivalent (same
CPU-speed).
It is worthwhile the expense?
Anyone has experience on this?
TIA
Hugo.
