As outlined at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160103 dual AMD64 Opteron cpus give more bang for the buck when it comes to Apache and MySQL for high concurrency handling.

So how many of you folks have moved or considered moving from Intel/Xeon based servers to dual Opteron servers ?

If you have moved, care to share how it has improved your forum's performance compared to before ?

Please post a list of hosting companies that supply dual core opterons and offer private racks or networks. I would be interested.

I'd be interested too, as at least in Germany dual opteron offers seem to be very rare.

Please do.

As for webhostingtalk - I've gone there, but would like to see if anyone has got a definitive list.

I still will never understand why people waste money on dedicated servers. We have purchased about ten servers in the past and have had them co-located with Defender Hosting (.com) for the past three years. Never had any problems.

Our most recent server purchase:

Dual AMD Opteron 270, Dual Core
8 GB RAM
4x 74 GB 15,000 RPM – RAID 10
Fedora Core 4 Linux, 64-bit

It's BLAZING fast.

Softlayer is run by a large contingent of The Planet people who left to start up their own company - Great guys, I think.

Just finished building a new db server for a project. Has 8 dual core opterons for a total of 16 processors in the one box. Should crank out enough for our needs for the next couple years.

When you colo, what happens if a piece of hardware fails? (hard drive, ram, or god forbid the motherboard)? Wouldn't you then have immense downtime unless you have redundancy? So that then doubles the hardware you will need and the rack space.

If you're listing datacenters / hosting companies and are happy and have been with them for a while, please add them to this big forum hosting / datacenter thread

I'm a little late to the party, but I've got a dedicated DB box with dual opterons and can't rave enough about the performance, after putting up with Xeons for a log time - I can hardly believe it. 2.5M posts, 600 users online now, and server load is .04 (as in, not even .1). Hosted at liquidweb.com (though I cannot wholeheartedly recommend them). I'll be colocating two of these puppies in Dallas soon.
