Hi,
I'd like to issue a challenge of sorts. Which do you think is faster, and why do you think so, for doing computationally intensive tasks, primarily compiling?
System one: 1.8 GHz 7447a in a MDD tower with 2 gigs of DDR memory
System two: 1.733 GHz 7448 in a digital audio tower with 1.5 gigs of 133 MHz SDR memory
The speed differences between the drives should not be a big factor since drive access is minimal, but I'll list that anyway.
System one: 750 gig Seagate 7200 RPM drive on the 100 MB/sec bus
System two: 2 TB Samsung 5400 RPM drive with SATA-IDE adapter on the 66 MB/sec bus
I've already run some tests and one system is a clear winner, but I'd be very interested to hear guesses and see who's right... Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a benchmark in BSD, I'd be happy to run some.
John
