Click here to order Sun Performance and Tuning: Java and the Internet (1998) by Cockcroft & Pettit, Sun Microsystems

No Intel-specific information, but this is the best Solaris or UNIX book on performance measurement and tuning I've seen. The book is well illustrated and has specific examples on several monitoring utilities. Also covers TCP/IP networking.


Click here to order Configuration and Capacity Planning for Solaris Servers (1997) by Wong

Excellent book for sizing Solaris Servers. Has detailed examples and tips for NFS, DBMS, & Internet servers, Timeshare systems; chapgers on storage, system architecture, and benchmarks. Book is becomming dated for latest Sun hardware, but concepts still apply. May be a little too technical for beginners.
