Just added that, shows some info.

All of the Opteron vs Xeon benchmarks I've seen have shown the Opteron wiping the floor agianst the Xeon in Apache/mysql benchmarks.

Let me put it this way. I've never seen a benchmark that showed the Xeon beating the Opteron in databse or web serving...

I happen to have access to a dual Xeon and Dual Opteron box at work. They both run Win2k3, so I should run webbench and benchmark IIS6/MSSQL on them for kicks.

Don't get me wrong here though. It's not like using Xeon server will put you out of business. The difference in performance might not be that signifigant in the real world.
