Intel is good

Yes, Intel is very good - and currently the most favoured with a
whopping 14 votes.

intel all the way ... Dual P3's make for superb servers.

What about a P4 3.06GHz with HyperThreading?

Not tried any of the 3Ghz P4's yet, the 2.4's are performing VERY well.
I'd *like* to try an opteron based server and compare it to the xeons at some point ...

@ othellotech

Nor have I tried the Pentium 4 3GHz processor systems, but I can
also vouch that the P4 2.4GHz ones are doing very well. Very fast,
very good and for me very reliable.

@ dnswho

Not really.

If you learn about AMD, and really learn about it
properly you'll be surprised. With an AMD, their AthlonXP+
2.167GHz processor is JUST AS FAST AND JUST AS GOOD as
an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz one. So really shows you that the bigger
number doesn't always mean better.

Personally... currently all servers are P4 2.4GHz, although all
future ones will be Dual Intel Xeon 2GHz systems.

- Very smooth.

Agreed. AMD gests too hot and causes many problems such as power management problems. I am fine with an AMD processor in a home PC or even a small office PC, but for a server, I always have to say Intel because of the reliability and cooling.

Intel, every time (from now on). I've been having a lot of trouble with my home PC which has an Athlon XP 2400, keep crashing for no apparent reason.

osirishost: And you're sure it's the CPU? I do agree on Intel, but have you checked everything else in your home machine before coming to that conclusion?

We have a mixture of AMD and Intel Pentium/ Xeon (and celeron for dedi's) based servers and for what its worth dont see a great deal of diference between preformance from an AMD CPU and a pentium and *touch wood* havent had a cpu problem in the few years that we have been running servers ourselves.
