    Dont trust too much in benchmarks, they probably just changed so that the newer prosessors look better. >.>

    I agree on AMD Opterons, if i could afford to host my server with that kind of power.

    Opterons have always been performance beasts. I remember I opted for one in my desktop years ago because it was actually compatible and it was an awesome upgrade and at the time reasonably priced too.
