Hi,
I'm trying to build a new dual cpu system. I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me the pros and cons of each different cpu (MP, Opteron, Xeon).
I know MP is 32bit and both Opteron and Xeon are 64bit processors. Opteron is backward compatible with 32bit apps. Are Xeons backward compatible too?
Are there any other factors I should consider. Any input would really be appreciated.
Also, if you're familiar with this field, I'd also like some recommedations on the motherboards for dual cpu setups.
thanks in advance!
