What do you think about the SUN T5120 or T5220 with a Postgres Database?

Cheers Thomas

Sun has published a benchmark on the Sun Fire T2000 Server and the results are published here http://www.spec.org/jAppServer2004/results/res2007q3/jAppServer2004-20070703-00073.html

Jignesh has also done tests on the following AMD and Intel systems, and I believe the results were quite good.
