HP ProLiant DL385 G6 review

Quad-core not enough for you? This HP server offers up AMD’s six-core Opteron’s to take the fight to Intel. Dave Mitchell comes away reasonably impressed but has reservations – and not just because Intel’s own six-core Nehalem’s are just round the corner.

Parallels Desktop 5.0 review
