Re: [hlds_linux] Xeon vs Opteron
It rocks :] We have a dual xeon 2.4ghz and two dual opteron (240 and 246), gentoo all the way. (Btw, on opteron 246 and over you can use pc3200 ddr400 chips). For the dual xeon, debian was in the first place, and i'd say gentoo is far better (mean faster) than debian. There should be a benchmark of the librairies' calls made by hlds/srcds. It should help to select the best linux distro.

Re: [hlds_linux] Xeon vs Opteron
The opteron alone is amazing, no questions asked in a real time environment. I myself would like to try an Athon 64 in a server, because as another person said, it ran laps around the xeons. Only downside is opterons might* be a tad hotter than xeons, but hey, they do more work! And if you go Dual Op.. Dew Opp, Dew Opp, Dew Opp! Shiggita shiggita shiggita BOOM!
