| |
Would the current state of athlon support be considered stable? I've got a colleague interested in getting a dual athlon box, and I'll be making the decision as to what hardware to purchase. I'm wondering is dual Athlon viable for a business solution right now, or is it considered "experimental"?
What hardware would be recommended for a dual CPU system that needs to be fairly rock solid? Should I recommend to stay with the P-III Xeon? Or something else? What issues would I expect to have to deal with if going with a dual Athlon?
Also, what is a good rock solid SCSI RAID controller? Money is no object. Reliability, performance and Linux compatibility are though.
Chipsets to avoid?
Any experiences/info good/bad would be greatly appreciated.
