The first thing I'd do is take half the memory out of the 64GB machine and benchmark again.

The second thing would be to swap (all) the memory between the two machines and try again.

That might tell you whether it's the amount of memory; or the actual physical memory; or the particular processor; that is the source of the difference.

Another thing worth a try would be to use whatever bios-based hardware diagnostics are available and run the memory & system board test suites.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
