Re: [gentoo-amd64] Planning a new box - AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon?

Conway,

While it doesn't include Barcelona, you probably would find my review on 
LinuxHardware.org very useful in your decision making process.  It 
included the latest Xeon and Opteron processors using Tyan boards.  Here's 
the link:

If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help.
