Ehehe .. this probably ends out in a religious war. :o)
Dual Athlon is performance wise really neat, however what still bugs it
the temperature, that these processors generate. It makes them really
usable in 1U or 2U rackmount servers.
I personally use the Dual Athlon as a Power Workstation as you probably
also can see from my configuration. For servers i also tend to go for a
Xeon, though the Opteron get's interesting.
