Hey DJ,
Not the muddy the waters with more choices but...any single socket Intel
Core 2 Duo will do this also at a lower price and have more future
upgrade options than the current Opterons. The Core 2 will also have way
better low latency performance than the Opterons. You will have better
case and cooling choices (even passive) compared to the Opteron also.
Depending on your motherboard choice 3 PCI/3 PCI-e so 1 less PCI than
Opteron models. Ram is the only other benefit for Opterons is the extra
memory slot available under a 64bit OS. The new dual Xeons out perform
the Opterons in a similar price range also. Quad core CPUs are already
available for the Core2 and will soon be for the Xeon.(..uuummmm 8 CPUS).

With all the people around the globe using PC's for recording
- from the full-blown commercial studios, down to the guy
tracking his own tunes in his bedroom - I'm kinda surprised
that no company has come up with a new PC design with, let's say three CPU's
- one for the OS & the rest of the system, one
dedicated to plug-in's, and one dedicated to the summing buss.
Or maybe that's impossible... I don't know about that sort of
thing; but it seems that if they came up with the hardware, it
would be easy to encourage Steinberg, Magix, etc to rewrite a
portion of their apps code for a version of their particular
DAW software that would be able to tell the application to run
off the main CPU, send the plug-in's through another CPU, then
sum through the third.
Now THAT would rock! Don't know if it's even possible, but if
there's a big enough market for all these different DAW software
& plugin software companies, there's certainly a big enough
market for a specialized PC Mobo.
