Some Windows server applications require prodigious amounts of processing power. If you use such applications, you're aware of the challenges you face when selecting server hardware. New servers based on Intel Itanium 2 and Xeon processors can supply the processing power you need. Intel's next-generation Itanium 2 processors (code-named Madison) are now available, and most of the vendors I mention have announced Madison-based models in time for this article.

Windows on high end servers ??? ja

Opteron's blow...they are for people that want fake 64bit. Opterons are for "normal" servers...not high end servers...

I can't help but comment on the lack of Opteron based servers in this review. I'm not sure what the author implies in the first paragraph "AMD Opteron processor systems weren't available when I wrote this article", however IBM along the 450's mentioned in this article, has been selling eServer 325 based on Opteron CPUs for at least six months. Also, not as big but polywell.com sells Opteron based servers, actually there is an abundance of Opteron based server manufacturers if one spends 10 minutes looking. I would hope that authors do take unbiased position in a respected magazine. Another Intel monopolistic point of view?
