Hi All

Wonder if using 64 bit OS makes that much a difference.. the highest I ever got was 230, I’d be happy with 749. But I’m on an old AMD Opteron 270.

@earl I’m using CentOS 5.5 x64 Quad-based (funny, on their website they advertise only 12GB nodes, when my one has only 4GB), 900 was the best result I got, today for example it’s 749. thing is, I’m switching over to RackVM because it’s just cheaper

I need to give some praise to Ben from RackVM, he’s *very* helpful. Keep it up!

@earl
AFAIK, unixbench 4.1-wht2 is obsolete

@Em

with Unixbench 4.1-wht.2 you are getting 900 with Virpus? Mine is always around 200 I’ve seen it go as low as 90, But I’m on an AMD with Centos 5.5. What OS are you using?

Hi Mina, thank for your reviews! How long have you been with RackVM?

By: mina

mina — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 07:20:10 +0000

Yeah, I got one of their earlier promotions. It’s been stable, however once I had issues with slow I/O, but Ben fixed it after I made ticket about the issue.

I would say go for it if you’re in the need of French virtual server.
