Greets All: I'm liking these amd opteron servers so much that I am considering building an amd based workstationn. Assumed it would be Athalon based but in searching archives I note that some folks seem to prefer the opterons for workstation use. Perhaps to some degree in reaction to the "chipset mess". I'm not averse to spending a bit more for the opteron system but it seems to me the Opteron's CPU heatsink/fan might be a bit noisy for workstation use. And I have buddies shouting in my ear to "stick w/ Intel" for workstation. But then I also know others who run AMD for their desktop machines. Any recommends based on current state of affairs in the ADM hardware world? TIA -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. A: Why is putting a reply at the top of the message frowned upon?
