2. Profit rate is much higher on server units and virtualization is one of the hottest - and I personally think the best - thing on the server market for years and on top of it helps to sell new CPUs.
3. I, for one (animation/post company), only use DC Opterons for our VMware machines: each DL145 (2x O285, 8GB RAM, SAS drives) machine runs at least 2 virtualized version of former physical servers - I save money on electricity, on management, on networking, everything and most importantly a lot of headaches/work (e.g. floating license servers: no need for server re-authentication for a dozen or so software after a hardware failure etc).

So the only load of crap here was your post, thanks to your ignorance on virtualization.
don't know if you realise this but you are in the wrong forum

go to 2CPU.com if you are after info and server market users

this ain't the place

as to my "industry knowledge" i've been around all channel structures up and down and even had my own company target specialised server and workstation markets but i am posting my reply specifically about products and to a forum which does not focus on that so next time you have a brain fart engage the gray matter a little more intensely
