DB Server Recommendation
-
I need to upgrade our db server and was wondering if anyone had any experience with opteron based processors. I want to use HP ProLiant DL385 with 2 AMD Opteron 280 processors (Raid 5 and 8GB Ram) I want to use 64bit version of windows and sql server 2005. (System price around $15,000) How would this compare to comparable Xeon processor based configuration?

Why the soapbox if you're not thinking of using Oracle ?
