1) Message boards : Number crunching : Cache or Speed? (Message 7885) Posted 29 Dec 2005 by Rustoleum Post: Why not look at the comparibaly priced AMD Opteron (maybe dual core version) ? Although, what is the server actually going to be used for (other than Rosetta) ? Just a file / document server. The vendor I have to deal with only offers Xeons on their servers :(

3) Message boards : Number crunching : Cache or Speed? (Message 7841) Posted 28 Dec 2005 by Rustoleum Post: What kind of CPUs? AMD or Intel? AMD with dualcore or single? Intel with HT or not? Same memory ammount and speed with both CPUs? And finally, why chose? Just use both ;-) Intel Xeon, single core, I think both would have HT. Same memory amount / speed. My boss will only let me buy one server :(, so either processor is in his price range.
