I don't have any direct experience here, but there's a good article in a
recent issue of SysAdmin Magazine (November, I think) that talks about
the differences between the AMD "reference" implementation of the
Opteron 800 and what vendors are likely to do to make their
impementation cheaper.  It also covers bottlenecks inherent in Intel
servers and the differences between Intel's improvements vs AMD's.  I
should still have the issue around somewhere if you can't find it.
