Can't see it would run any different from any of the other Opterons... 
different thermal envelope and power consumption, same great taste, less 
calories... :D

Haven't tried that motherboard yet...

I have several interesting benchmarks here from the latest quad-core 
Intel offerings and such - need to pull together the numbers into 
something digestible and meaningful.

As the stuff passes through my shop, I make sure it gets a spin on 
RC5-72 (distributed.net) and SysBench, so we have some OS/2 benchmarks 
instead of the Windows stuff all the tech sites publish.

I think I've got the only example of an Intel quad-core showing 3 CPU's 
on eCS 1.2R... :D

I did get the Q6600 working with the ASUS P5B-VM DO motherboard, but the 
IRQ sucks up easily 20% of one CPU all the time... the architecture is 
as flawed as AMD says it is.

Numbers soon, I promise.
