Why not go for a dual Opteron box (if you have the money)? SuSE Linux 9.0 will also be available for the AMD64 platform.
Hi guys, Since we're on the dual xeons/dual opterons subject, here it goes: I'm going to buy a new set of servers to have at home. Objective: - 1 Mail server - 1 Storage/ftp server - 1 Backup server (I'll need to sychroize some DFS with client lans through VPN, so this one will have to be windows, or I'll get VMWare to emulate some Windows servers) I was thinking about waiting for athlon-64, but I'm really getting undecided, and a dual processor system is getting more and more attractive. Could any of you guys shed some opinion/light about the diferences between Xeon/Opteron/Athlon64 and whats the best? Thanks in advance, FJMA
