Yeah, those 1500 series boxes are a steal for the price. We got a bunch of 1550's with dual 1Ghz procs for like $1500 each. They are about twice as fast as our old quad proc 6350's, and a good deal faster than the dual PIII733 2450's, for a fraction of the price. The 6350's ran around $20k each when we bought them, and 2450's ran around $7k or so. They get win2k on them though, not linux. I'm trying to score a couple to stick some FreeBSD lovin' to. Does anyone know of any 2u rackmount Dual Athlon Systems? I really want to see what kind of performance I can get out of one of those. As a webserver (running IIS), we benchmarked an AMD 1700+ XP box with IDE and 512MB ram, against a 1550 with dual PIII 1Ghz's and 1GB ram, and the AMD box was actually about 40% faster serving out dynamic content (on a single proc!).
