>Hmmmmm.........Just wondering what the difference between an Opteron and a
64 CPU is. Why would an Opteron rig be faster?
does this have more to do with the mobo architecture......like having
multiple busses, or what? I see that rigs like Brian T's monster wusing the
Tyan mobo has lots of busses.
The K8NS looks like a real moster with 2 x SATA controllers and at least one
of the SATA controllers is a Silicone Image (this is good)...........so Mr.
Simplicity is starting to think about being able to put together something
that can run Cubase SX pretty much full time at 1.5ms latency with VSTi's
running along in the background so he goes to NewEgg and starts looking at
these K8NS mobos and at 64 bit x 2 CPU's ranging anywhere from an AMD 64 x 2
3800 for $352.96, to an AMD 64 x 2 4600 Manchester for $690.00 to an AMD 64
x 2 Toledo for $884.00. All of them appear
