Dang it, that change got lost somewhere... We moved to a new PHP version on the new server and that happened...Kai Stromler wrote:I dropped something in the mod box about this...it's a cookie typing issue, a string is being generated where the current code wants a long int. The new server explains it, probably isn't 100% configured right yet.

I've not done any render work on an Opteron set-up, but I imagine you're right. My dual 2.0 Ghz Athlon (not Opteron or 64-bit) renders most AE jobs for me in less than a minute. I imagine it'd take a lot longer to upload the video data and run whatever script it'd have.Phade wrote:It would probably take more time to upload the info to the server than to actually render it and return the result.
Figured I'd come in and brag since now the mighty Phade has defected to the AMD-side

Hey,
I'm loyal to no product. I always go for best bang-for-buck configuration no matter what. Linux: best bang-for-buck. Apache: best bang-for-buck. MySQL: best bang-for-buck. PHP: best bang-for-buck. AMD Opteron: currently best bang-for-buck BY FAR.
Can you imagine how much the site would cost if we went with Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Intel 64-bit processors? It would be many tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars!! Instead, we get reliable kick-ass performance on the cheap. How is it that MS and Intel defend their prices? Oh yeah, by repressing competition rather than making a better product.
