RE: Off topic - Oracle 9i on W2k - AMD Athlon XP or Intel Celeron

Tamas,

I suppose this also depends on what else you use your home machine for? I run 9i on a P4 1.3GHz, and it screams (apart from the fragmented shared pool that I keep on getting - that I need to sort out when I get the time , tips anyone? ;P).

Why not put P4 in to the equation? I know it had some bad press when it first came out, but subsequent benchmarks have shown it to be a stable and well performing processor..

Do you do internet gaming? If so, then it has to be either the P4 or the AMD
(which supposedly has DirectX built directly in to the processor).. Same
goes with any graphic designing..

There you go.. My recommendation would be either P4 or AMD, and since you don't have P4 on the list (and assuming your not willing to put it on the list) then AMD.

Hi,

I know this is by far off topic, but if some one could help me with this I would be very grateful.

I am running Oracle 9i on my home machine (Celeron 300 MHz) and it is pretty slow. I would like to upgrade either to Celeron 1.2 GHz or AMD XP 1400+ GHz. Apart from the (not negligible) cost differences I can not decide which solution would be better in respect to the Oracle 9i performance. Every one here at my company would like to persuade me to buy AMD, because it is "MUCH faster" than an Intel Celeron solution. Does this hold?

TIA, Tamas Szecsy
