We are considering buying a server for a memory intensive application.
It should have at least 32 GB RAM and a Intel or AMD CPU.

The application is single threaded, single CPU, that is, in no way
optimized for multiple CPUS or multithreading, which does not mean it
could be optimized for such in the future, but not at the moment.

Memory throughput should be optimal. The data to be processed should
reside all in RAM, paging should be avoided by all means.

Would the following choice of hardware be supported by a 64-bit
Scientific Linux?:

  o Tyan Tempest i5000PT (S5283) mainboard
  o Intel XEON 5080 3730 MHz Diual Core CPU
  o 32 GB RAM
  o 3Ware 9590SE-8MI PCIe 4x

Any comments welcome.
