First tried some searching around, but did not find anything useful so I gave up and decided to ask here... I am wondering how do pair of 1.5GHz Itanium2(4MB cache) stack up against pair of AMD or Intel server CPUs as far as postgresql performance is concerned? Is it worthy or not? Thanks in advance. Tomaž
