And according to PC Magaginzes, the dual Opteron 242 (1.6 Ghz)server easily beat the Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz server in many of their tests. And the AMD 64 coming out in September now instead of August,will beat any of the fastest INTEL processor available right now There's a guy on the playchess.com server whou uses a Dual Opteron 240 (1.4 Ghz) and his kN/s for DF7, Shredder 7.04 and DJ8 Zx right up there with mine(mine is faster but not by much) and I have a Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz. I will try to find the links to support what I just told you. But most of these top programs aren't optimized for the Opteron yet.
