Do you have any more details on said stability problems (e.g. hardware
specs, etc)? I've been very impressed with the Woodcrest Xeon tester
I've got -- in fact, it bests my Opterons in almost every benchmark I
throw at it, and it's been rock solid. I'm leaning pretty hard in
that direction for my next cluster upgrade.
The information about the US Government throwing the Woodcrest solution
out was 'reported' by the Inquirer. :D Perhaps IBM boxes...they also
posted another interesting bit about Woodcrest and Intel 965
motherboards having problems with raid5...kind of like how there is bad
mixing if you use ext3 + 3ware in RAID5 mode maybe. I am afraid that is
all I can give you on this.
The Korean portal one can be found below but it is entirely in korean.

Something about overheating and FB-DIMM problems which was only
encountered after the thing went live.
How close to live are your benchmarks?
