Opterons running on Postgres 7.3.6

[John Allgood]

Hello All

After reading the thread about the Xeons and the context switching
issue I have decided to go with the Opteron. Has anyone got any thoughts
or input on running the system on PostgreSQL 7.3.6 and RHES 3.0. I
realize 7.4 is probably better for the Opteron but right now that is not
a option. Here is my system.



Opteron 250 on a TYAN motherboard
8 GB ECC DDR2 Mem
Adaptec 2200S Raid Controllers
Seagate 36GB 15,000 RPM SCSI Drives

Thanks

In 64bit mode? I had problems with any 7.3 pgsql on FreeBSD in 64bit
mode while later versions work fine. Of course, this might not apply to
Linux, but only your testing will reveal that.

But generally RHES should be excellent choice for serious pgsql server
and Opterons are faaaaast :)
