28 What I am really interested is, how the server will perform most of the
29 time. Will the instance of the apps go to each core in a balanced way?

31 From the previous posts, I gather that the amd chip is really good.
32
33 I must say that I love the intel drivers for the network and sata. If
34 only amd has some chip sets for their own cpus and good open source
35 drivers for their chip sets. Intel has that covered and I think the
36 intel drivers are open source.

38 Please correct me if I am wrong.
