Mainboard
http://www.mlacom.si/tree.aspx?nodeid=2039 940
http://www.mlacom.si/tree.aspx?nodeid=2200 1207

+

2x Opteron Cpu's

http://www.mlacom.si/tree.aspx?nodeid=2213

What do you think:
I whant to Get somthing Good /ass kikin for my bro.
Abaut 800$ for mainboard
Abaut 700$ for each cpu

Are you locked into using Opterons? I mean do you already own them?

For that kind of money I can build a dual clovertown or high end woodcrest that would destroy a dual opty..( here come the flames)
US prices:
Board: SM X7DAE:$450.00
Memory: 4x1 gig DDR2-667 FBDimms:$362.00
cpu's: Vary but for $1400.00 total you can get 2 that will meet your needs.
A couple of the lower end clovertowns BSEL modded from 1066 to 1333FSB and in the 2500mhz range..on 8 cores!

As far as I'm concerned the only thing the opty does better in is bandwidth.
Everywhere else the clover beats it.
remember, a dual opty is 4 cores, a dual clover is 8.
It should outdo the opty.
That 4 socket Tyan board you linked to:
One of the guys has one of them with 8 Opty 880's on it using the plug in daughter card that accepts 4 more cpu's so 16 cores on his machine
He ran cinebench on it and got 2764 I beleive.
I got in the 2600's with 8 cores and Kaz-n has water cooled a dual clover to 3789 and beaten that 2764 mark..
That a good enough answer?

you'll want the 64-bit version of pro, or vista-ultimate, else you'll only see 3 gigs of ram...

Core2 generally performs 20-25% better at the same clockspeed than AMD64 K8, and that applies to Clovertowns and Opterons , too.

The devil is in the details. The registered DDR2 is cheaper than the FBDIMMS so as you add memory the price/performances closes. Overclocking on socket 771 is really horrible, much worse than on Socket F or Socket 940.

The main advantage of Socket F Opterons over 940 is hardware support for virtualization.

The main advantage of Intel CPUs is that you can get Intel chipsets, whereas when you pick AMD CPUs you have to live with NVidia chipsets in this segment.

Well tell us what did you buy? I personally don't base a system purchase on benchmarks like SuperPI and Sisoft Sandra. That's pretty misleading.
