I'm specing out a new web server, and want to be able to compare an
Athlon-based system with a P4 based system. It's relatively easy to
find "server" quality boards for the P4, but I can't find any info for
Athlon server boards (except the Tyan Thunder K7X Pro, but I don't need
dual processor and it's twice the price of the Intel S875WP1-E that's
being quoted for the Intel-based system).

Dual opteron boards are OK. Building a system based on a Tyan Thunder S2885
mainboard now... Still waiting on parts so I can't tell just HOW good it
will be but AMD Opterons are definatlely an option.
