Last months Linux Format featured an article or two about the 
Opteron...IMHO...long story short; Itanium sucks...Opteron rocks the

Hi Guys,

I'm on a mission to investigate the new 64bit capable hardware; cpu,
etc. I've been reading about the Intel Itanium and the Amd opteron and
was wondering what your feeling are regarding the industry that drives
these two processors, as well as the status with linux (red hat) and
these new processors?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Rafael.
