CPU chips or chassis models?
Our recent services nodes were enhanced R410s (extra network ports,
disks). The CPUs are 55xx because 56xx were not available at the time
we ordered. Now we'd probably go for 56xx depending on what we wanted
them for but as was said at HEPSysMan, the best bang/buck seems to be
for the latest AMD chips.
I have my eye on some R610s for (oracle) database servers but that's
another story.
Martin.
