[K12OSN] Xeon vs Opteron ?

[Robert Arkiletian]

Which cpu would you recommend for a multi user environment like k12ltsp
Anyone have any personal experience to compare. 

The following cpu cost the same

----------------------------------------
Xeon 2.8 EM64T 1MB cache 800 FSB
Advantage:
Hyperthreading (With HT kernel sees double the cpus)

Opteron 242 
Advantage:
Built in memory controller (beats xeon on most benchmarks)
----------------------------------------

Would your choice be different on single cpu vs dual cpu server?
