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

["Kris Kersey (Augustus)" <augustus@linuxhardware.org>]

Because, at the time, that was the best available from both AMD and Intel. 
Also, if I'm not mistaken, the prices were similar at the time.  Notice 
that I was careful to also do some core vs. core benchmarks so that you 
could possibly compare dual-core Xeons and look forward to Barcelona.
