I still find 4xxx server series a failure due to the limited offer by OEM, they would rather make 25 layouts of the same Intel chipset in a different form then just adding one additional line from AMD... a real pitty.
We should chat about vmware licensing. I did some apples to apples configs and even though the sw licensing cost was higher, the total package (HW+SW) was lower than Intel. And you get the enterpise plus with all of the extra features.
