I started buying DL385's for my environment middle of last year and have
never looked back.  I just got a few dual core 2.6GHz systems in waiting
to be deployed.

We primarily run Oracle on them (RAC) and data processing applications
that are pretty memory bandwidth dependent.

Btw, if someone missed it AMD had bad batch of CPU's with an FPU bug
shipped last year.  HP will dispatch someone to test the CPU's and
replace them if needed.
