<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi,<br>
<br>
I have the choice of selecting between two servers for deploying 802.1x
authentication off a LDAP server. The max rate of authentication </font></font><font
size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">is around a couple
of thousand authentications per second. </font></font><br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
The first choice is a 2 CPU, Quad Core Nehalem 2.53Ghz based server
with 8MB cache 12Gb DDR3 memory @ 1333Mhz.<br>
The second choice is a 4 CPU Quad Core Xeon 7440 2.4Ghz with 16Mb cache
16Gb DDR2 @ 677 Mhz<br>
<br>
So on one hand I have a faster memory access and higher CPU speed, the
other offers higher CPU cache and double the number of cores.<br>
<br>
Which sort of server be more suitable for FR ?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Padam<br>
