(well, not really)
A little while ago, in one of our clusters we replaced a boatload of PowerEdge 1425 webserver-class boxes with a much smaller number of HP DL145 G3 quad-core boxes, getting the same amount of oomph from 1/3 the boxes. Not too bad.
Thoughts on capacity planning and web operations.

Quad-code boxes or chips? (can you even get quad-core AMD chips?)
Anyhow, that graph is super.
yeah…the old boxes were dual CPU, and the new ones are dual quad CPUs.
Not only more performance per machine, but fewer parts to fail, fewer warranties and licenses to pay for, fewer OSes to patch, etc. Very cool.
