@Eracer - Opterons DDR-II
"
DDR2-800 for servers will have very high latencies this year...probably 5-5-5 or 6-6-6. I doubt there will be much of a performance gain over DDR-400.
"

Wrong. First the latency will be roughly the same on DDR-II
when you don't use GOOD timings. If the memory is good,
Latency on DDR-II will be lower, but not that much. BUT,
the more you go to 2-4 sockets or more, you will see huge
benefits under the new platforms which will come in July
(officially - NDA exists). Be prepared for much HIGHER number in NUMA systems.

re: me: Excuse me, but plugging in a USB flash drive [into Intel S5000 dual-woodcrest motherboard] doesn't sound like the ultimate stability test, does it?

You: Are these the same corporations that just had their Opterons recalled, or different corporations?

Cheap shot -- Opterons recalled were a tiny fraction of those produced and unlikely to cause a problem. The USB problem as described by techreport was repeatable.
