I just ordered dual xeon system for myself: 2x 2.66Ghz Xeon with hyperthreading, totaling 4logical cpus. Those who claim that buying intel is waste of money are quite wrong, dual opteron setup would have cost nearly twice as much (~500e for one cpu suitable for dual use.. )... I just can't wait to see what kind of figures I'm able to pull with that rig, combined with the new core... 200mb/sec? 300mb/sec? more? who knows... (soon everyone)

U have to show us some tests and so on. Would be kewl to see what io can reach.

I'll use ordinary non-raided ide drives.. as I don't dare to remove my scsi array from linux (I keep all my sources etc. on it) However, I'll try to plug so much memory in that I can get it to cache even the largest files I have... so hd won't be the limiting factor

(i'll be experimenting adaptive buffers, etc. as well.. they are something that you propably don't want to use on ordinary server - as they might grow to several gigs =D)

Had to order new psu as well - seems like xeon isn't compatible with ordinary atx psus (ugh.. I guess, intel doesn't want people to use low quality parts with their server products)

Anyways, I'm supposed to get all the neccessary parts later today..

wuu, xeons seem to work quite nicely
