[rhn-users] Intel or AMD

[Dominique Demore]

Hi Everyone,

We are currently in the process of selecting 2 new servers to run new Student Information System. Both systems will be
running version 3 (AS). One server will be the Oracle 9i database and the other the Oracle Application Server.
My questions is: Since I have the chance of selecting either an Intel Xeon processor or AMD Optron, which should I
select. What about the Itaniums?

Beside the 64 bit processing of the Optron, are there any other advantages? Any disadvantages?

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks.
