Re: Help:NT faster UNIX?

The big question on everyones mind:

   What's the HARDWARE????

If you have a Dual Pentium II system with 512MB RAM running NT, and an old HP chip with 8MB ram, than the OS is not the problem.

Given equal hardware, UNIX (HP-UX not being the best) out-performs NT 90% of the time for equivalent tasks.

For a RDBMS the harddrives and RAM would be the most important things.

  A new EIDE hardrive averages around 16MB transfer bursts, with Ultra ATA running slightly faster with better sustained rates.

  SCSI-I/II is 10MB, Fast SCSI-II/III is 20MB and UltraWide SCSI-III is 40MB, which means anything below UltraWide will be the same or slower. SCSI performs better with Multi-tasking/processing OS's than EIDE becuase of the dedicated I/O processor.
