Alright....well, not TOOOOO worried about price, but which would be better? A dual Opteron setup, or a single FX-51 CPU?
Opterons can be as low as $230 a cpu, and just as high as a FX-51 CPU. Would dual 1.8ghz be faster then a single 2.2FX? The 1.8ghz ops are almost $700, where the single FX-51 is $750.
I guess I should tell you what I am using it for. Its for a 2003 server(AD/Domain), file server, and ftp server. I am also going to be using it for encoding home movies(Christmas time almost here, gonna make a Family history DVD.) Dont laugh at me! I am spending all my money on this!
Again, I have some money to play with so I am still on a budget, but I can go over what I want to spend. I "Want" to spend about...$2000. Onboard video, sound, NIC all that..I want the most computing power as possible. I have a case already. All I need is...
Motherboard, CPU(s), RAM..I have about $2000 for that.
