Thanks Glenn, List for responding.
Am looking to check the possibility of our Banking Product's possible
port to AMD Opteron & build a case for "Management".
Our Banking Products are Coded is in Pro C, .Net, Java currently Runs on
Solaris(Sparc4u), Windows , HP-UX (on Itanium Chips), AIX (P5 Servers)
with Oracle / SQL*Server Databases.
Any Docs, Links, pointers Other than the following?

Additionally some questions are in CAPITALS below.
Thanks indeed.

Subject: Re: AMD vs Xeon 64 bit
I'm not sure of your timeframe for the purchase, IBM, Sun, and HP are
all releasing new or updated 4 socket AMD Opteron systems based on the
new Socket F.
THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME FOR NOW.
From what I can see, only IBM has a 4 Socket system with the new AMD
Socket-F on the market right now, the new x3755.
IS IT AVAILABLE WITH AIX O.S.?
Sun's 2 socket systems have moved to Socket F, but not the 4 socket
systems as of yet. Sun has a 4 socket Opteron server with integrated
storage - up to 48 disk drives in a 4u server. Sun also has an 8 socket
Opteon server. They still have the v40z in the product line, but that
system is getting a bit long in the tooth and is just a re-badged
Newisys server that put Sun on the opteron map a bunch of years ago.
ANY COMPARATIVE COMPUTING POWER, COST FIGURES OF OPTERON VERSUS SPARC
CHIP machines from SUN?
HP should release the DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 by year end - search around
and you'll find press releases and specs on these systems.
IS IT AVAILABLE WITH HP-UX O.S.?
ANY COMPARATIVE COMPUTING POWER, COST FIGURES OF OPTERON VERSUS ITANIUM
CHIP machines from HP?
I'm making a purchase decision on DB and VMware infrastructure servers
this month and considering the IBM servers, but I am looking at the
viability of the current generation blade platforms - possibly the 4
socket Opteron blades for my new DB servers.
ANY COMPARATIVE COMPUTING POWER, COST FIGURES OF OPTERON VERSUS P5 CHIP
machines from IBM?
