Hardware: Dual Opteron 240 on Tyan 2882, 2Gb memory, Dual 120gb SATA for
storage, SCSI for boot.
OS: Suse 90 64bit.
We've been trying to use this as a JBOSS( Java J2EE) server, and its been a nightmare. We had some problems getting the OS installed with SATA support since the SI3114 driver wasn't included in early 9.0 64 bit kernels but eventually that was fixed. However the real nightmare has been JAVA JVM's for the most part are not stable on the 64 bit platform. Every 2.6 kernel we've tried results in every JVM we've tried segfaulting. With the 2.4 kernels some of the JVM's are stable with certain kernels, but not the next one. Right now we're several kernel releases behind because the last one we tried caused the JVM to leak memory and we don't have a week to check out each one. If you're planning on running a Java app in a server environment, stay away from this hardware and software combination.

Would be nice to have around for all considering buying stuff.
Single / dual / X-cpu systems
Mainboard
RAM
Chipset
All the info you'd like to add
Plz let me/others know how you dealt with problems if you had any
(And yes ... I'll probably buy a AMD64/Opteron myself in the near future)
