I Gotta agree with Mark on this one! It's AMD or nothing. Every single sytem I have and every system I've sold has been armed with AMD, and I've had absolutely no disappointments. Period. As a matter of actual fact, my dual Athlon MP based servers have consistently out-performed IBM X-Series servers! Don't take it from me. Take it from the chief Kernel Guru at MandrakeSoft. He personally tested mine against an Intel-based IBM X-Server. The 32 hour test was run at maximum kernel load, and the IBM server crashed 6 - count'em, 6 times during the test, while mine came back for more. It exceeded max load by 4 percent for 3 hours before coughing up a hairball,(Kinda proud of that one!), and that was AFTER the test was complete.
Nya Nya Na Na Na ! Intel Pooh! Yuck! Ptewey! Intel, you got there first, but AMD had a chance to learn from your mistakes! Flamers can now start screamin' all you want, but this isn't opinion, this is fact. Mark? You Da Man! Lanman Question; How many Microsoft Engineers does it take to set up a stable print server?
