based on specs (haven't read reviews yet), this is the motherboard of my dreams:
Thunder K8W (S2885) dual opteron dual memory channels (4 PC2700 DDR EEC for each CPU) SATA AGP 8x/PRO 110W USB 1.2 (oh well. can't have everything) integrated stuff i'll never use the only thing i can't find is which opterons the board supports, so i'm assuming it'll take me all the way up to opteron 248. one problem: it's pricey. pricewatch has the cheapest board at $436 in CA (the first perk of living in NJ) with free fedex. at that price, i'll be running a pair of opteron 140's with 32MB on each CPU. :) i've always bought my stuff through pricewatch because other than a few years ago when memory prices shot sky high, hardware has been so cheap the past 5 years. it wasn't worth my time to bargain hunt for 10 or 20 bucks. have people found better prices than what pricewatch lists? are there any favorite price hunting sites that people have been using lately? thanks, pete -- Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler. -- Albert Einstein GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
