Here's a little teaser....

Has ANYONE run 3d06 yet? This is pretty lame

can't. 3992 doesn't support pcie graphics cards. the only board that is capable are the 3600-based boards (2915-E, 2932-E, etc.) right now and....good luck getting one.

I don't think anyone has anything capable of running it here. There are workstation boards, with onboard video. I think they're at best running XGI Volaris...

3DM06 has nothing to do with new CPU architectures, and a Barcelona system will most likely not be indicative of either Phenom or QuadFX. Between the errata issue, ECC ram, and workstation chipsets there's little point in pursuing that one...

ATI ES1000 chip here with a 32mb buffer chip. lemme tell ya...it ROCKS!

for amd's sake, i hope the chips and boards it sold to their actual customers function. cause, if their multi billion dollar clients are unhappy with how their new servers are running, amd is going to get eaten alive...

i think the manufacturers that actually care about this are rolling their own (dell, sun, hp, ibm).

Not sure but I think that a lot of sales are for the entire server. I'm sure AMD will make sure they run before they get to the customer. They will probably also have a lot of drop in sales, just exchanging cpus. For those I'm sure the AMD field reps will be johnny on the spot and will undoubtably have made sure the configuration will run before they exchange cpus

sure.

Get not integrated graphics?

not possible at this time, but patience.

Mate stop being so close minded.

K10 is the main arch, most that AMD can do on phenom to improove performance (IPC) is to increase the mem controler speed and that is it.

clock speed, memory controller speed, silicon fixes (which are minor percentage points, but, still....it does help), etc. platform DOES have an impact esp. as traffic is routed through the SB.
