First, I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed before. The other day I read the article from AnandTech.com discussing and comparing the EM64T Xeon from Intel and the Athlon64 from AMD. http://www.anandtech.com/linux/showdoc.aspx?i=2158 What caught my attention is that Fedora Core 2 refused to install on the IA32e machine because there was no recognized AMD CPU. Not having any experience whatsoever with either 64-bit processor, my question is whether anyone has been able to get FC2 installed / working with these. Oh yeah, and is it stable? I'm not new to linux or fedora, so this isn't a "hey, can fedora do this?" thread. I'm just looking for real world experiences. I'm constantly adding more servers, but don't want to spend money on boxes that will only cause headaches. Thanks, Mike.
