We have a dual 240 running right now. When compared to our older box, a mp2000, I can tell you that initial performance numbers are pretty disappointing. Valve claims up to 30% increase in performance, but I haven't seen that yet. A 20 player server on Aztec still spikes to 80%, and this is with no metamod/amx/adminmod/hlguard/ect. That brings me to another problem: 64 bit support. There is none for any of the plugins. Which really makes for a useless CS server

I would go for the Opteron its a 64/32bit processor . Even though the clock speed is lower its still a faster processor ie since its 64 bit and yadda yadda yadda. Matt H.
