I am about to lease another server to be a backup web/mail server with a
replicated mysql database.  The current live server is a dual Xeon
2.8Ghz.  Would I do better to get another Xeon server or an Opteron
based server?  My concerns are compatibility of the database and the SSL
certificate currently running on the Xeon machine.  Are these concerns
unfounded?

TIA
