[ale] [OT] [Fwd: Opteron vs Xeon: Is there an I/O difference?]

[Jonathan Glass]

Has anyone else read this article about Opteron vs Xeon I/O
performance?  The difference is amazing!  <maniacal grin>I wonder if I
can convince my friendly IBM vendor to 'loan' me one or two Opteron
boxes so I can benchmark them myself.  Hmm..</mg>

> We end the year off with a bang asking how well can a 64-bit server running in 32-bit compatibility mode do on I/O? At openBench Labs, we put an Opteron and a Xeon server toe to toe and let the benchmarks fly. See why AMD's HyperTransport technology may be the coolest overpass to outdistance the old Northbridge/Southbridge interconnect model.

For critical network services dealing with Windows, it never hurts to have an official how-to guide from Samba experts themselves.
