I must disagree. Opterons have better performance but NOT on srcds. In fact xeons do run lots better as any opteron as long valve has no real support for 64bit athlons. Dont forget also those VAC2 "problems" on 64bit systems. In the rest I to agree again. From our experience: if you dont want du run valve software get an opteron. Else get an intel based machine. Dont take a machine under 2gb ram. 4gb is great even more is wasted. Optimize your kernel for latency and your system (wipe out all those features you dont need. Refer the documentation and your needs for that.

'They' say opterons have better performance (for source) at the moment, but I'm more of an intel person myself. From my experience, the 4GB ram is overkill though. The amount of servers you can run from that P4 is never going to use up that much mem. I'd say get 2GB per box and spend the money you save on an extra machine, or for SCSI instead of your SATA..
