It's been a couple years since I had to buy another dedicated server. Back then the AMD Opteron had it hands down. The trade press seems to be indicating the pendulum has swung the other way and AMD is in trouble, especially since the Barcelona miss. Also, over the past two years I've read how code is optimized more for the Intel. I'd like your opinion on which way to go on a new server by picking one for each category. For the same price I can get: $159.00 Range Dual Opteron 246 Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz + $30 and get Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz $209.00 Range Dual Opteron 252 +$10 Opteron 2214 2.2Ghz $239.00 Range Xeon 5130 2.0GHz Woodcrest Clovertown 5310 1.6Ghz $279.00 Range Woodcrest 5160 Dual Core Dual 3Ghz Opteron 2216 HE 2.4GHz Thanks!
