Sun Considers Opteron

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the workstations-on-the-cheap(er) dept.

Sanjay writes "Official from Sun spokesman. Sun is considering using AMD's Opteron chip in a server it expects to deliver to the market shortly. Intead of fighting Win of Wintel (like Redhat is doing), Sun can choose to fight both with Linux AMD's servers and also fight with HP/IBM as Itanium is anyway a non starter. Sun can rise again! "

    Even though I am a subscriber, and I have my ad block count set to 0 (i.e. block all ads), and even though the /. crew say that should be fine for me to preview stories, I have yet to see one from TMF.

    I don't think it is working.

    But then, I also have not received moderation points in over a year, even though I M2 every day.

    Personally, I think much of the /. code isn't fully tested.

    (Yes, this is OT - hence why I have hit the "No Karma Bonus" flag.)
