Hi all,

I have received via the Advocacy questions about optimising a database
server using PostgreSQL. The people asking the questions are planning
to buy a new machine, solely dedicated to serving PostgreSQL. Being no
specialist of optimisation, could someone help?

They are interested in the 64-bit compatibility and are wondering which
is better: a machine equiped with Opteron or AMD Athlon 64 3800?

What other components should they bet strongly on: RAM, HD, network
card?

And please don't tell me "a lot of everything" ;-)

Thanks

Francois
