    i'm considering changing to a FULL dedicated server next month,
    i have 2 options.....

    going for either AMD or Intel....
    which should i consider taking??

    Athlon 64 x2 3800+
    1 Gigabyte
    $159

    or

    P4 HT 3.2 GHz
    1 Gigabyte
    $179

    Thanks for the suggestion,

    but in the long run does increasing more ram more important??

    Ram is important as is your processor. Think of your server like a computer. Do you need a lot of memory? Upgrade your ram.

    are you sure that is the best offer you could grab, I think you could get this configuration for around 150$, why spend 30$ more every month:)

    How is a single core p4 better than a dual core althon 64?! All other things being equal I'd go with the amd system in this case.

    I'd obviously go with athlon x2...due to 2 real cores (not virtual HT) !
    And architecture is definitely better than p4 HT.
