This dude is giving me 5 grand to build him the ULTIMATE pc . I'm thinking about doing Dual Opterons with SLI and etc. Any suggestions for Mobos and etc?

Check the forums at www.2cpu.com.
Those guys are always getting some inside info.

Laforge said:Maybe because the a64-fx's aren't smp capable?
Only opterons are?
DemonDiablo said:AMD plans on releasing a FX dual core cpu at the end of the year. It will more than likely be the only "desktop" dual core cpu released by AMD that will be targeted at the desktop and not the server/workstation crowd

Aegri Somnia said:While aggressive, I agree with Laforge, I want two sockets, with two 64 FX CPUs.
However.... I thought your statement about only Opterons supporting SMP doesn't *sound* correct to me. While I can't find any AMD information to support or deny, it seems this will be more of a chipset and operating system delegation issue, not CPU type.
Am I wrong?
Laforge said:and will dual core p4's show 4 total cpu's?
Laforge said:This is the *reason* why you don't see any dual s754 or s939 boards, because it's IMPOSSIBLE, and ONLY dual 940 boards are capable of it.. in fact, even with a dual 940 board, you can't even use an opteron 1xx series processor in dual socket operation.. You *MUST* purchase either 2xx series or 8xx series processors if you wish to put two processors in.
Aegri Somnia said:That's a very interesting approach, but I can't think of any reason why they would intentionally limit the implementation of the chip. Then again, I can't think of any architecture reasons why it would be limited either, so it looks like I'm going to have to research a little more.
Laforge said:The opterons have registered memory, numa, and 1,2, 4, and 8 way operation supported for people who are willing to spend more money on their processors.
