Hi, I am running Xen on two old Opterons at the moment but would like to upgrade my server so I can run more VMs. Would you recommend that I go for Opterons again with AMD-V technology, or would the new AMD Phenoms be okay ? There appears to be a big price difference between the two. Thanks in advance.

Among other things, it depends on how many CPU sockets you want to use. I''d choose Opteron (not the fastest one though, they''re expensive), like the 2352 for dual socket systems.
