sgolds,
I appreciate your efforts.
No hurry, this weekend for your posts will be fine.

Probably a good day today to shovel snow.

I hope everyone had read Ace Opteron review:

Overall, the Opteron is the best server CPU of its class and we doubt very much that the 3.2 Xeon DP with 2 MB L3-cache, coming early next year is going to change that. The Opteron will probably remain the fastest CPU for the server tasks tested here until Intel introduces Nocona, the “Xeon Prescott” at 3.4-3.6 GHz (1 MB L2, 800 MHz FSB) at the end of the 2nd quarter of 2004.


Pay attention on Java benchmarks. I know that in many cases Java is a very desirable solution but is not used only by performance reason. Opteron may boost Java marketshare a lot. Java will help Opteron to sell well.
