Would you buy an Opteron SMP board for enthuthiasts?

[Sn0wm@n]

call it anything but the overclocking community would love some of the stuff that is opteron only, i have in the past used both opterons and xeons for gaming and overclocking as they had what i wanted, call it an FX or a phenom MP or something else, it cant cost that much to sell something with a different branding and it would allow for better benching so that would lead to better sales, like with the 939 days



$800 is alot for a desktop part per chip and so is $700 for a board, the sr2 is sub $600, and the mangy are $750 normally i would think that a consumer one could run hotter or maybe use 8 core parts and could be unlocked so u would be around $1200 a chip


maybe with buldozer could there be a consumer 2p unit

and for the people in amd, when the stuff in QA do the bioses ever support multi changes or vcore/memory adjustment or changing ram timings

how much does a high end 6 core xeon part that fits in an evga sr2 cost ???? about 1500 or so for the unlocked multi version???


i dont see it as too much .. its well within the sub market that these parts originated from .... so i still think that my 800$ and 700$ prediction arent bad
