Can't comment on the performance aspect as haven't tested an Opteron setup, but I've typically not gone for them myself as it seems hard to find a decent place (in the uk anyway) that supplies them as cheap prebuilt rackservers with after sales cover. I could build them myself cheaper, but I can buy xeon servers cheaper prebuilt especially if after sales service wanted.
That may just be my experience and I don't know any places where others buy their opteron servers from though, but I always find this one odd. Guessing might just be some of the bigger companies selling have better deals with intel, or just don't want to go down the opteron route?
Any recommended suppliers that also do cover (don't think Dell do opterons do they?)

I agree,
Dual opterons are better and cheaper than Chipzilla's Xeons...

It may be too late but have you considered dual opterons instead of the Xeons ? Opterons are *true*server CPUs and are implemented in a server centric architectiure unlike the Xeon which is basically a P4 that can do SMP.
For typical server workloads you'll notice a big benefit with the opterons.
All the best.
