Re: [hlds] Which cpu combo would be better for hlds/srcds?

I'd rather go with the opterons, should perform better with game
server loads. Much/any of a price difference?

 Or

 2 Intel Xeon 3.0ghz with 2Mb L2 Cache

 I'm a little stuck in the middle with these two. They both have identical
 specs aside from the CPUs.

the opterons if you run a 64 bit os but that really won't be useful till
longhorn for a windows system I don't think unless windows 64 bit but don't
think that works for duel processor I am probably wrong on that fact though

$ for $ they are both good processors I would run the Opteron by
personal choice.  I currently am running the AMD Processor with WinX64 O/S
and the users have noted since I made the change to WinX64 everything has
been a major improvement.

The Draw back is making sure your Vendors have the required drivers to
support the X64 o/s.
