Although it's not as obvious to most home users, UNIX does much better on RISC processors, too. Although a CISC processor can often execute a single process faster, once you get into having to try to do multiprocessing, the RISC is a big win. Anyone who's ever run a machine up to a load of around 100-150 knows all about this. :) If you're not willing to spend money on Sun hardware, though, it's hard to see a gain. With similarly priced hardware, the PC will often be faster, but you can make some nice high-end server. I'm running a postgres server at work on a 2 processor Ultra 2 with a gig or so of RAM. My actual database servers at work have at least 4 Ultra processors with 4GB of RAM, but they (most of them) will hold up to 14 processors and 14GB of RAM. -- Principal Member Technical Staff, beyond.com The world is watching America, pub 1024/3CAE01D5 1994/11/03 Dustin Sallings <dustin@spy.net> | Key fingerprint = 87 02 57 08 02 D0 DA D6 C8 0F 3E 65 51 98 D8 BE L______________________________________________ and America is watching TV. __
