Subject: a comparisment 2005-07-05 - By Sandy Sutherland
Back I was wondering as I did test a quad opteron 240 here - running Linux Enterprise and got 64 bit MR tokens to test - it was pretty awesome - some 7 times fater than my 3.0Ghz Duals, but the price of the hardware and as you say the 64 bit tokens killed it!
Cheers
