Do you have any more details on said stability problems (e.g. hardware
specs, etc)? I've been very impressed with the Woodcrest Xeon tester I've
got -- in fact, it bests my Opterons in almost every benchmark I throw at
it, and it's been rock solid. I'm leaning pretty hard in that direction
for my next cluster upgrade.
