Hi all,
I have to choose between intel and amd server to host about 10 guests
with a mid-high load.

Which one do you suggest? intel or amd? I heard that amd is not
limited by front side bus as intel cpus.


Thanks

Marco

Well, Intel has working quad-core CPU's. AMD tends to be betterperformance at lower CPU speeds, and lower power consumption, and thusbetter cooling. Many big vendors sell either at similar prices, buthaving one CPU core to dedicate to each guest domain can be handy. Ipersonally prefer AMD due to better support for their newest features inthe Linux world, so it's a trade-off.
