Hi. I'm building a 3 Xen server instance server on a hypervisor. The server will have either an Opteron 1354 2.2 GHz or a core i3 530? (Both Proliant entry level servers - 110 versus 115). I'm thinking 3 way Intel SSD 80 gig drives ( one per instance). 8 gigs of DDR3. Maximum 20 users at a time. One instance will be plain jane Apache/static html. One will be Ruby/rails/Google earth api. One will be plain jane php/mysql. What would you go with for a processor, the opteron or the i3?
