Favorite Dedicated Server CPU?
Whats everyone's favorite dedicated server CPU?
I'm a fan of the K7-Sempron 2800 right now
Friends working at Intel report that they're having a lot of trouble keeping up with AMD, so I'm thinking competition is back!AppliedOperations - Premium Service

All my servers on Pentium 4.
I don't like AMD that much. I have trusted Intel for my whole life.

8 * Amd Opteron 875
8x Dual-Core AMD Opteron. Looks like they are getting a 50% or more increase in benchmarks over the single cores.
But it is hard to find good unbiased benchmarks.Semi-managed dedicated servers at unmanged prices, visit www.bit42.com

AMD all the way.
My favourite being Athlon 64's at the moment, cheap chips that perform amazingly well for the price.█ Dan Kitchen | Technical Director | Razorblue

They may be old, but the E4500 is still a mighty fine machine.

Debian, and probably other distros, run on there.redpin.com - offering amazingly competent email, dns, and web hosting since 2002... because someone has to!

This is a 8CPU/8GB box, and I've got some disks for it, but I've also got a FCAL array sitting somewhere.AppliedOperations - Premium Service
