Wish you visited those sites. I simply don't get how can a supercomputer with over 10000CPUs is not considered a server but small biz thing. That sample is for us only. We can't afford more. That's all. If we had 150K bucks then again it'd be an Opteron based one say something like HPDL585 or Sun2100z.
I'm more familiar with AMD to deny that myth.
PS: What's Cray and HP's own CPU? That's news to me.
