I am running Freebsd 4.4, Apache 1.32, Tomcat 4.1, PostgreSQL 7.2 and Mysql (can't remember ver) on it very happily. Installing Oracle this weekend. The _only_ thing you have to pay particular attention with Athlons, is that you put descent fans on them, and use plenty of thermal paste. Otherwise - stable as you like and almost half the price of an Intel equivalent. Temperature will _not_ be a problem, as long as you use good props (I think Thermaltake are the best - http://www.thermaltake.com/products/heatsink/v6plus.htm). As far as 1U is concearned, there are plenty of chassis specifically designed for Athlons. Appro (www.appro.com) make a superb (but expensive) dual one, and there are plenty of other good single proc ones. If you are in the uk, www.dev0g.com resell Appro's at descent prices.. Hope this helps!
