I think it's more a matter of taste, I would go for teh Xeon's but I'm sure others would go for the AMD

Go for the opterons if you're going to run alot of servers, the 275 series are dual core so its really 4x 2.2Ghz so its good if you're running ALOT of slots.

there's also 8G RAM on the AMD and 4G on the Xeon's from the quoted specs.

Deff the dual 275's, twice the capacity than the xeon's.

sry is 4GB for AMD

If there is 2 physical processors in the server, then you still have 4 cores and you're still better off, you can always add more ram afterwards.
