asterisk users - Apr 2006 - Performance: Xeon or Opteron?

I was offered an upgrade path for my two Dell 1750's (2.8 Dual Xeon) 
to get into a pair of new Dual Core Dual Opteron servers. Assuming I can 
get the IRQ BS worked out so my TE411XP doesn't flip out, this should be 
a pretty significant upgrade. Has anyone been able to quantify any 
benefits to using one processor over the other? Should I wait for the 
newer Intel processors this summer or go for the AMD DC DO?

Thanks
Tim

AFAIK, it doesn't make much of a difference if all you are going to  
be mainly using is the TE card. From what I've heard and seen, a  
single P4 3GHz machine will handle a fully loaded TE4XX board with no  
problem.
