Well Menace that does look nice, but if you look at the specs. for the new Amd Opteron it is nicer In my opinion. The opteron has the pci-extreme, Agp 8x. I do not know if you knew this but the Apple PowerPc processor has been 64-bit since is was created by AIM. That is why the apple has been able out perform the pc in alot of test.
Support of up to three (3) coherent HyperTransport links, providing up to 19.2GB/s peak bandwidth per processor 256 Terabytes of memory address space Scales from 1-way to 8-way across entire data or compute centers utilizing the same hardware and software infrastructure Integrated memory controller reduces latencies during memory access in a SMP server system.
Ok, the first version of the opteron can only match the G5 with 1 GHz Bus speed per processor.
Well I am sorry for all of you Pc guys but the Opteron boards right now only use the pc2700 or the DDR333, but you can put faster in there and bump up the clock speed and get away with a fast setup.
Right now there are only like 4 boards out for the opteron and they have serial ata and most of them have Integrated Dual Channel SCSI.
So guys for the first few boards out, they are nice but we need to wait cause they will be great, when they get them dialed in.
so here is what I say [img]graemlins/apepissright.gif[/img] APPLE
