I want to buy a "Play" machine for myself and have a choice of the following - prices about the same.
Having never worked on these machines which would be the best?
HP9000, D250, 1 x 160mhz, 2 x 4Gb, 576mb
or
HP9000, K210, 2 x 120mhz, 4 x 2Gb, 256mb
Paula
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: What to buy
I would buy the second.
Reasons:
1. You can test single-processor behaviour on a dual-processor machine, but not the other way.
2. You can test more soft-RAID configurations on 4 hdds than on 2 (given the same amount of space)
3. Less memory is not really a disadvantage.

Re: What to buy
Given those two choices, I would go for the D-box. If you have a D-250 that is actually a PA-7200 processor running at 100Mhz; if it's truly a 160Mhz processor, it's a D270 running a PA-8000. That's even better because with that you can upgrade to 11.11 64-bit if you remove any EISA cards. You could then have a box on which you could test both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of all the operating systems.
I also like the greater amount of memory in the D-box.
My 3 cents, Clay

Re: What to buy
if there is a chance for the 64-bit option, I would follow Clays suggestion.
In addition, if you want to upgrade RAM, I think you can put standard PC-RAMs into a D, but not into a K.

Re: What to buy
If the D has a PA8000 processor AND the hot swap option (your 4 Gb would be hot swap FWD-SCSI...)
I would definiltely go for it because the power requirement and spare parts would be less compared to the Kclass
I just checked on on D230, ther is a PA7000 running at 160 Mhz:
# echo itick_per_usec/D|adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
itick_per_usec:
itick_per_usec: 160
Module Revision
------ --------
System Board 0
Processor Board 0
PA-7300LC CPU 8
Firmware 12
All the best

SolutionThe D can hold 5 internal drives at 9 or 18G, easy to add storage.
It has a faster CPU, can run 64 bit code, and although it is not 2 processor now, has the potential to be 2 processor.

Re: What to buy
get them both, then you can play around with MC/ServiceGuard, DNS, ... ;-)
The typical answer is "It depends", they both have their advantages.

Thierry
