drizzt81 said:As I mentioned in the AMD subforum, the Heise news post is far from certain about ultimate being the only Vista OS that supports 2P. Their wording is that "apparently" the non-ultimate versions of vista do not support more than one socket. There are other sources that suggest that all, but the Home basic and below versions of Vista support 2P.
While you may be dead-set on Vista, if the 2P-requires-ultimate rumor is indeed true, WinXP Pro can be purchased for ~$120 or less as OEM version, which will run 2P systems without any problem and supports quite a variety of games, applications and other hardware.
You might be right and I hope this info is wrong. I might want to go with Dual Woodys or something in about a year from now. It'd be screwed up if I had to pay the est $239 for Vista UE.
As I also said, I'd take two Woodys over One Kentsfield any day. It's as simple as two FSBs and 256bits to Memory for me.
