i hate to dig up old threads like this but i can see too that dual sockets nowadays are kind of dying down which kind of saddens me, i think if there were more unlocked dual socket bits the market might perk up a bit, personally i don't think there is much better than dual socket, i still miss my old dual 771 setup i had last year for a render project in college XD and then im currently in the process of planning for my next one, the extra ram capacity is useful for making large amounts with dirt cheap ram and generally whilst not great for gaming they're not bad either, im doing an opteron build in august (though the first bits roll in soon ish, few more months) but it'll be for mostly lots of VM servers in the background and my main system on top (all in one system of course) and i will be doing a bit of gaming, not much but a bit so the optys should be enough for my needs, shame the dual socket market is dying though really, i mean the look of a nice beefy dual socket board to me personally is the best look there is, if i look at like a rampage 4/5 extreme it's nice but then if i look at either an SR2 or a beefy server board (the one im off for, the H8DG6-f is a prime example where ram slots are concerned) and that's more appealing to me than the R4/5E to my eyes at least.
