Opterons are way outta my league.

I could go with a dually amd setup, but the available motherboards seem outdated. I have matching 2500+ mobile bartons that would make excellent candidates for MP modding, but I cant justify buying a ancient board to get them to run on. SCSI would be nice, but a good Raptor would be better in my case.

The 3.06 xeons didnt do so well in tests, but the 800fsb chips perform much better.

I still need waterblocks, and the swiftech website is somewhat confusing. Do MCW-6002-P's support the socket 604 when using the stock intel hold down thingy and the PX supports the 604 socket using threaded rods and springs? I'm not entirely sure what I need exactly.
