Hi there.
I am fiddling with tidying up our PC installations, and I would like to install everything in racks.
Then I get the idea to use rack servers from reputable vendors (HP, IBM, Fujitsu-Siemens), in stead of "industrial PCs". I have good experience with standard PCs as longs as you dont abuse them.
Now to my question:
These rack servers are usually with Intel Xeon CPUs, and you can often have them with dual Xeon CPU's. You can get rackservers with 'normal' Pentium CPU's, but they seem to move more and more to Xeon and Dual Xeon's.
Does Xeon and/or dual CPU's affect my software in any way ?
I use Siemens simatic net, Siemens HMI software, Rockwell RSLinx, Sybase ODBC database.
Do I have to use a special version of Windows with Xeon and/or dual CPU's ?
Thanks for any insight.
