Yeah, I'm using V20zs on the grid at the moment (single core 2.6 Ghz Opteron 252s) and you can see from the benchmarks in my computer list they certainly seem to get the job done. The V20z and V40z are due to go end-of-life within the next few months (support will obviously continue) and have been replaced with our new Galaxy servers (SunFire x4100/x4200) which are apparently even more impressive... although I haven't had a chance to try any yet.

And yes, we'd like to have about 9 or 10 of them (or the new galaxies). - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

Looking forward to seeing some benchmarks on those. From memory the benchmarks i read were for a Dual & Quad CPU setup with 8GB RAM per CPU; they were running web server & database applications & the way they went though the data was amazing, not to mention how well they scaled with the extra CPUs (for those applications). The Xeons they were comparing them with didn't scale nearly as well, let alone come close to the Opteron's performance. I would like to see the benchmarks run on an 8 Dual Core CPU system with maximum possible installed RAM. It's hard to beleive that an x86 based system can be so powerfull...
