Intel or AMD ??

[Kunal Aher]

Hi ,
I am upgrading my system for one sole reason - to run WSAD + WAS + DB2
and Weblogic Workshop. I was wondering if there were any benchmarks for appservers running on different Processors and RAM configurations.
I have the following options
a) P4 (2.4 or 2.8) + Intel 845 MB + 1GB RAM
b) AMD Athlon (2800+) + ASUS Board + 1 GB RAM .
Can anyone help in providing some guidelines on JVM performances on these 2 configurations ?

Cheers
