The AT review said this about putting opterons on the QuadFX mobo, I assume the opposite is truePaul_Jastrzebski said:Thats actually a really interesting idea.. I don't have any server motherboards around but I will look into that. Even testing the new socket 1207 opterons might be interesting too...
"...for now just know that Quad FX only works with 1207-pin Athlon 64 FX CPUs (Opterons are prevented from working in the BIOS)."
I guess that AMD will make damn sure that no server motherboard maker releases a bios that supports the FX, and destroys the opteron market.
The AT review also said that CNQ isn't working on the board, which answers my earlier question about power consumption.
