We are currently running on Solaris 9 with dual 400MHz UltraSparc II processors with 1GB of RAM. We are looking into purchasing new servers, probably Linux on a single Xeon or Opteron (maybe dual core). But I'm not sure how to compare speeds between the two architectures so I'm not sure what my target should be for price vs. speed with new systems. We're a small company on a tight budget. What are your experiences with switching platforms? Thanks, -- Jeff jlar310 at yahoo
