I have the opportunity to benchmark a system is based on Supermicro 6015B-8V.
It has 2x Quad Xeon E5320 1.86GHZ, 4GB DDR2 533, 1x 73GB 10k SCSI.

We can add more RAM and drives for testing purposes. Can someone suggest what
benchmarks with what settings would be desirable to see how this system
performs. I don't believe I've seen any postgres benchmarks done on a quad
xeon yet.

We've done our "standard" benchmark on a dual X5355:

Verdict is that for a price/performance-ratio you're better off with a
5160, but in absolute performance it does win.

Best regards,

Arjen,

Have you guys run your benchmark on a quad opteron board yet? I'm curious how
the dual quad core Intels compare to quad dual core opteron.
