Sub-question for everyone: on some of the links people posted there were great deals, but the server's had DDR2 RAM, would performance be decreased significantly?
- mutagen 12y agoThis benchmark [1] shows little difference between DDR2 and DDR3 running on enthusiast hardware. DDR3 runs at a lower voltage which is supposed to result in some power savings, especially critical in most server applications, but their benchmark showed little difference in power consumption as well. Multiply the difference out by typical server memory configurations and it might be more significant. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ddr3.html http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ddr3.html
- shiftpgdn 12y agoI mean absolutely no offense but I would seriously recnsider your plans and do a LOT more market research before you start buying hardware. I've been in the hosting industry for nearly a decade and have seen hundreds of hosts fail because they went down the same path you're walking.
