Hmmm perhaps you're right and that the overall conclusion with me vs the 
rest is equal to what you said, still it looks to me more like a 
personal attack, but I could be wrong of course.

The machine will run 2003 with virtual server and the current plan is to 
host 6 virtual machine, I well do know what performance I need to get my 
job done, perhaps it can with less but I like to have some reserves.

Agree, so the challenge is to get some ubench'es of opteron 144/ athlon 
3200 (they are now about 229 EUR same of the 3.2 intel) and compare that 
with ubench'es of your 3.2 GHz machine.

Perhaps some people having this h/w would like to install ubench? It 
only takes about 6 minutes to test.

Well I do have, solaris and 2003.
