After reading comments, I went to Tomshardware mentioned to see. It seems, that the 2P configuration from Intel with Core Duo Xeons 5160 can be now faster than 2P Opteron one; Intel did some architectural improvements in order of FSB. So Peter, don't worry, Your choice has been good, especially for the discounted price.
However it also seems, that in 4P config, Opteron leads again because of Hypertransport vs FSB. The value for the price can be also better with Opteron systems than with Xeon, even in 2P config, because of both price of processors itself, and FB-DIMM memory. So, everyone be happy :o) Peter Hieromonk Peter wrote / napísal(a): > I'm not an expert at this, and I doubt if I will *ever* make that claim, but > the front side bus issue that Intel motherboards have *** seems *** to be > inferior to the way the AMD motherboards are designed. > > I thought I read on Tom's Hardware that the Opteron was more efficient.
