I would have a Barcelona review up but AMD didn't come through this last
time on review samples. It is important to keep in mind that 32-bit
Windows performance is a big difference than 64-bit Linux performance.
Keep this in mind when looking at 99% of the reviews out there.

Conway,
While it doesn't include Barcelona, you probably would find my review
on LinuxHardware.org very useful in your decision making process. It
included the latest Xeon and Opteron processors using Tyan boards.
Here's the link:

If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help.

Nice article, thanks Kris! I'm about to hit the sack (I work nights),
so I've mostly just skimmed the performance section, and I'm rather
pleasantly surprised.
The Opterons are looking a lot better there than some of the other
reviews I've been reading. The impression I've had was that in terms
of performance, Intel's had a significant lead since the Conroe came
out; although AMD's Barcelona is starting to close the gap (although I
had the impression Intel's Clovertown still leads).
Thanks,
Conway S. Smith
