Hi LcF,
I think it is the best to check out the comparison charts:

Athlon MP vs Xeon:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...9_4362,00.html

Opteron vs Xeon:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...6_8799,00.html

Hope that helps

Hi LcF,
You're welcome.

I'm afraid I still haven't received the mail. I hope you have entered the email address correctly? If it is urgent, just PM me

Thanks.

Instead of reading AMD own comparison, this is a 3rd party review at very detailed. Opteron are sure costly

But anyways, the comparison at AMD will give you a summary of the comparison instead of going through the long reviews. You know, AMD can't bias in their comparison

Thanks.

yeah. since none of us here runs AMD (i think it's slow for their lowerend server) and gamers doesn't pick AMD servers for their gameservers, the long & detailed review gives you every detail from Security to Gzip and comments & graphs as lcf wanted a review I think this is the best review i personally think Opteron are good based on the review, with higher cache but it's very costly just like Xeon.
