Intel Xeon >> too hot, less capacity for more money. Uses a lot electricity
Intel D or P4 >> not a server platforum
AMD64 >> not a server platform
Opteron >> better performance for less money than Intel Xeon, not so hot, uses less electricity

It really doesn't require a server platform processor to run a server.. We're looking for the best performance per buck

Well, first of all: Opteron is as far as I remember to get real effect from an opteron you need a dual core or dual processor. This creates another problem, The SRCDS software. It is not designed for eighter dual core or dual processor, witch means that it will have a huge loss of effect, that way it is mutch easyer to use a so called "not a server platform" processor, these might not have as low heating rating as the "server platform" processors, and not the "direct" link to the network interfaces. But if you need a cheap processor, that works with the software, aint pulling to mutch power, and you got a good cooling system you get MUTCH more from a AMD 32/64 or P4 (32/64) processor. Mainly becouse of the price.
Deep into the darkness. Pearing long I stod there, wondering, fearing, doubting.
