I've been looking at HP DL385s for some SAP stuff. SAP's
benchmarking page (http://www50.sap.com/benchmarkdata/sd2tier.asp)
shows that a dual dual-core AMD box gives the same performance as a
4-way Intel box.
I've built a few 385s so far, and they rock! And, as a
bonus, you could run your DCs on 64 bit windows. Four CPUs, 16GB of RAM, and 64
bit windows - that's one honkin' DC!

Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain Controller Consolidation utilizing Dual Core CPUs
Gentleman,
Does
anyone has any information regarding Domain Controller consolidation utilizing
Dual Core CPUs?
I have not seen anything
reports from microsoft indicating the performance boost gained by utilizing Dual
Core technology on DCs. It is presume to be much better that the 20% to 30% gain
from Hyper Threading CPUs.
Thanks for your input,
Mauricio Funes
