Has anyone here done a test of Apple's G5 vs an AMD Opteron? Right now, I'm at a critical state in my source code. While I do love Apple, I'm wondering which is better to go with. Apple G5's or AMD Opteron's (Intel Itanium is out of the equation... to expensive and not worth it comapred to Opteron) I've slaved over burgers, and over the year even tacos... I've saved up enough money... and can buy one or the other.. Right now I really like and love the Apple G5... and to behonest... would love to have a G5... (but mostly as a desktop OS for my own enjoyment)... Right now I'm leaning more toward "the better development LINUX server" What do you think is better... work, and lean toward (G5 asm coded cores, or AMD Opteron cores) what do you think is best. Right now... I'm still working toward attending WCCC 2005 ... I have a 45 node Dual Opteron cluster in my reach... While I might do "both" I'd still like a basis for comparison for my original code... For now I plan to spend my "burger/taco" money on buying a Dual AMD Opteron" machin running Linux.. However I still the money for a dual G5.. Comments are appreciated... Sincerely, Joshua Shriver P.S. yes I'm using rotating bitboards.... and with my testing... I've found equal value within a normal G5 and Opteron...
