The expensive ram is expensive for a reason, unfortunately most people won't ask reliability for their computers ;( Anyway those benchmarks did show something... A) Memory bandwith and latency is important. [The benchmarks where run in such a configuration that one of the opterons gave up its...

Lets make a exact comment. The lack of SMP comparisons in desktop is barely tolarable, but when people have same ignorance while writing a LINUX desktop system stuff its something. A) ANY tasks that have been graphics intensive takes over 30% of cpu cycles in X server that alone should give you...

Firstly there is NO benchmarks showing whether your assumption of lack of support for multiprocessing, at desktop is true. For instance powerpoint spends plenty of time in other than primary thread, in 90s paper. Modern game architectures will have coarsegrain parallerism, like running network...

There is plenty of benchmarks running ALMOST similar like single processor systems, running just a little better clock speed or more cache but NEVER on dual opterons ... Lets make a comparison. Pair of 1.8Ghz Opteron costs as less than the high end single CPU processors like FX-53. That means...
