I can imagen if it was optimized to run on Xeon only and uses some very specific features. If application written on Java, VisualBasic or any other interpretating systems, then there is no way to see any difference. C/C++ compilers in most cases will create compatble code unless CPU family specified.

Hi,<br />
<br />
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5) with OS RHEL4 (whatever that implies).<br />
CPU: Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 1212<br />
1GB DDR RAM<br />
<br />
On this machine some developers are installing a fairly big application.<br />
(Will give details if it helps)<br />
<br />
My question is:<br />
If the CPU isn't powerful enough (presently Single AMD Opteron 1212 AM2) - or memory too small (presently 1gb DDR2) ... to what extent will this cause application errors or will the application simply run slowly?<br />
<br />
Thank you people<br />

Effect of cpu/memory on application

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
