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 ?

We're looking at doing that in about 12 months. For now our server more than meets our needs.

I am using two dual opteron 252 8gb ram scsi disk servers ( Webserver and Mysql connected via LAN). Performace is awesome with Windows server.
I will never use Apache and linux combination for webserver anymore.
Never seen my site that fast before
I do advice dual opterons to anyone who can find a good Datacenter.
I am at one of the DCs in L.A

We moved from dual Xeon 2.8s to dual Opteron 246s and noticed a decient improvment. In the process we also were using IDE drives with the Xeons and have SCSI with the Opterons so I imagine that helped as well.

Not at the moment, our Xeon is running fine. You're also limited by what your choice of DC actually offers.

As you know we have 8 massively powerful dual xeons and are bumping up against our limit. Our intention was to have all our sites on one db server with 3 slaves for searches and reads. This wasn't working so we moved our largest site to it's own dual xeon with a second for searching, and left the remaining sites on the other two boxes. This has really freed up a ton of capacity, but who knows what will happen when the world cup comes and our traffic goes 500%

4x Web servers: Intel Dual Xeon 2.8 GHz, 2 GB Ram, 2 X 80 GB with Raid 1
3x DB servers: Intel Dual Xeon 2.8 GHz, 8 GB Ram, 3 X 73 GB SCSI U320 10K RPM with Raid 5
1x DB server: Dual P4
2x Load balancers: Dual P4 3.0 ghz, 1gb Ram

Apache/Linux
PHP 4.4.1
MySQL 4.0.24

I wanted to go Opterons when we first got this server, but found a great deal on Dual Xeons. It's been running great, but I've been semi-seriously thinking about finding cheap(er) dual opterons.
