UpNDown, Re: He thought that an Opteron/Nforce3/GeForce FX 5900 computer would be an ideal combination for gaming.

lol, an Athlon64 would seriously kick its butt. Even at same clock speed, the Athlon64's much more aggressively "tuned" memory controller, along with the ability to use non-registered, non-ECC DIMMs, is a sure winner in games.

(We'll see how it handles Prescott, but Opeteron is not geared for that type of application - and is actually likely to be slower in just about any single processor application).
