I have a quad hexacore system based on the Opteron 8345 chips - that's 24 cores in all with 48GB of ram. This box was meant to replace the current six Intel core box which my current LAMP stack runs on. I am however getting even worse performance than from the six core. I'm running:
- Centos 5
- MySQL 5.0
- PHP 5.2.13
- Apache 2.2.9
It's almost as if the box is too powerful? Has anyone had any experience with large SMP boxes like this?
