Too Bad for Opteron:
I know some of us have been excited about Opterons hitting the market and possibly giving them a go for desktop usage. With a couple of companies like Arima and MSI building retail boards, it seemed like a natural. Certainly this would have given us a clear look at what Athlon64 was all about, but you had best hold your horses. Seems as though there will only be one thing missing from the mainboards that launch on O-Day…an AGP port. Guess if you were looking to Opteron to initially fulfill your desire for the ultimate gaming or workstation rig, you had best look elsewhere, at least for now.
