Been tasked to order a couple for compute tasks, but it's meaningless comparing them on paper. Does anyone know any site that has comparative benchmarks of them? I'm looking at the Xeon X/W55xx, X7460, Opteron 24xx and 84xx series.

I have some x-ray films that I want to keep for the long term (50 years?). Tried googling about this but couldn't find anything useful.

Tips, anyone? The ones taken about 8-9 years ago are visibly faded compared to the ones taken last year. I'm not sure if it's because of the type of film used (since they were taken at different hospitals) or if the film really faded.

In fact I might get them digitized, but I'm not sure how much this would cost?
