Psycho, what application do you plan to run on the server? AMD is optimized for certain applications, and Intel for others. We would really need to know what you plan to run on it.
If you want to see what HP recommends, you can use the Tool that I developed and maintain as part of my job here at HP:

For those that care, here is the Storage Buying Guide that I developed and maintain:

Consider those Eradhardware... (Sorry for the play there Chem)
