I just can tell you that AMD has proofen their reliability in a lot of serv=
er=20
environments of my friends and since everything after=20
coppermine/tualatin/M/dothan... INTELs do consume at least the same power a=
nd=20
with the northwood core much more power than performance equivalent AMDs.
So in my opinion these are all ineligible for servers but that's another=20
story.
I'd take the AMD and reinvest the saved money in very good coolers
And of corse there is the bright new 64-bit world......
No long-term behaviour nor productive environment experiences but I only he=
ar=20
positive stories...
