I'm with ya all the way and I did not mean to insinuate that you didn't know that CPU get faster all the time, lets just say is was a cry of desperation from a guy who wished he had more money so that he could buy the fastest all the time. BTW have you seen the benches on the x46 opterons running at 2GHz, very nice indeed!!

But as I understand your posts only MSI and Tyan have dual opteron MB's... that will change soon I'm sure of it. Asus must be coming with one soon and hopefully they will not make the same mistake that MSI has made with their board. It's a bit strange the way that MSI has setup their memory handling, also you would expect that a server board might have more ram slots.. I mean if you want to go past the famous 4Gb barrier you need to buy 1+ Gb ram blocks :-( (but that might be a space related problem). They must have known that it would influence performance and talk about missing redundancy if CPU0 goes so does everything because CPU1 accesses memory through CPU0, not an optimal situation for a so called server board!!!
