Thanks!

    Since this is new territory and there is still a lot changing/evolving I would suggest waiting till next year if possible. If not get back here and be a little more specific on the application and timeframe.

    give this article a once over (okay maybe not the whole article, really the last page is all thats important)

    it ought to give you a feel for the current relative strengths of A64 vs Opteron, although I believe that for workstation uses a dual opteron system ought to spank just about anything else out there
