O.S., Vendor etc *

Sun does offer Boxes with with Opteron CPUs:-
http://www.sun.com/servers/index.jsp?cat=Sun%20Fire%20x64%20Servers&tab=3
Qs 3 Will moving to Opteron CPUs require RE-Compilation & porting of
existing Application Code?
NOTE - Our Banking Products are Coded is in Pro C, .Net, Java currently
Runs on Solaris, Windows , HP-UX (on Itanium Chips), AIX (P5 Servers) with
Oracle / SQL*Server Databases

Dl 585 is the one to go for. Buy the fastest and most memory that you can
and you will be smiling the whole day. I just advised a customer to replace
their 16 cpu SUN sparc box with a 4 CPU dual core Opteron. The sun box was 1
million dollar, the opteron costed around 30K dollar. They went live over
the weekend and and they are very happy :-)
