thinkimg of getting 2x opteron quad 2352's....has anyone else gone this route on the asus 'quadfather trail'?

i like the idea of 8cores etc...i have the /b vers bios to hand,but i had heard that it would not always be needed....also,must i deffo get ECC ram?again...i had heard that it is not always the case.

any help be great....if i have to change ram and mobo i may as well get complete new setup!!!

Go Skulltrail if you want octocore.

....kinda trying to support AMD(someone gotta!!) on this one heh. "i like my dinosaur!!!" lol!

they may be slower/hotter blah blah....but mine have always been reliable as hell.

never tried intel admitedly,maybe one day.

skulltrail will be so expensive,but amd route will cost me £400 delivered http://www.techstore.co.uk/browse.ph...dLineID=130185 ....a good option for me!!

i'm with ya on that, someone has to suport amd

whats your rough plan for the system, other than two quad cores?

...its not primarily for gaming.its a render 3d rig really!

3d studio will eat 8 cores np....its a bad prog!!

will also upgrade ram to 8gb but i think i will try the non ecc to see if it works etc.

also plan to make all storage disks on her 1tb so i should see 7TB + 74gb raptor for c lol!

Less than an Intel Dual.

....not sure if this is any good?

super pi 1M = 30secs

32M = 25mins 45secs

not bad i think,i could only see the prog using 2 cores so maybe it could be better?
