Yes, I did not tell. I should, I regret.

I am going to build a Postgresql server, and  will execute a lot of perl
(local) scripts in relation with the database. A lot of read/write in
large tables (>10'000'000 rows), so I need (several) indexes... which
have to be updated at each write.

The scripts will have to do a lot of manipulations with datas.


So, I want something fine. I took some informations like :

1.
For AMD Opteron 1356, look this :

2.
Tyan Tomcat n3400B (S2925-E) is recomended by AMD for its largest
Opterons 1xxx, so will can upgrade  :)

? Impossible to find the Supermicro MB's. -> ?

An opinion on this Tyan MB :

3.
Kingston KVR800D2E6K2/4G : 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820134936

This is recomended by Kingston for this Tyan MB :

But I have simply a doubt... Is the AMD Opteron a good choice ?
I *presume* it's the best of AMD, and I wonder if Intel would be better.

Amel
