Wow! the Opteron scales incredibly well in Seti@home!!

Just check this link out:
This is exactly what could make the Opteron a hit!! 34 secs with a quad config versus 68 secs for a dual.. perfect scaling!![
Also check out the Sandra memory scores.. Can you say 10k+!!

Very impressive. Unfortunately quad Opteron is not for my budget but it justifies the Opteron server I am making for my department. If only I can get 244 chip for a "reasonable" price. Looks like $700+ is the only thing available now.

Hey there.. yeah 700 $ is steep.

But prices should come down a bit as faster models are released.

Woah....running 24 hours that thing can push out 42 WU's....yikes!

Damn pricey though!
