I happened to do some research on this very question today. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors to it yet.
To get any benefit out of 10g you need:
- a 64 bit CPU (AMD Opteron or Intel Itanium)
- 64 bit Linux (SuSE is the only one I know of yet)
RedHat, too, for both Opteron-64 and Intel's EM64T Xeon thingy.
- 4GB RAM minimum
note that the Intel EM64T can't DMA above 4G, due to chipset limits. may hinder your IO performance a bit.
