AMD Opteron Quad Core CPU Availability

[Robert L Cochran]

Can anyone suggest a good retail source of AMD Opteron CPUs when the 
quad core versions become available? Also what would be a good 
motherboard for these CPUs. I assume the quad core units (all versions 
and price levels of them) support full virtualization.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure Barcelona chips are unavailable except as engineering 
samples.  Last I heard availability was tentatively scheduled for August[1].

Barcelona has full virtualisation -- not sure about "all versions and 
price levels", but certainly any version which you'd want to buy should 
support it.  Should also supported nested page tables (boot the Xen 
hypervisor with hap=1 option to enable it).

Hi guys
Have you anyone worked on tomcat and RHEL5 ? Please hints me on how to configure tomcat on
RHEl5. I don't see the tomcat packages in RHEl5.
