Default Affiliate Review: Opteron Dual core...in Chinese.

Pretty pictures though, and benchmarks say 1000 w000ts. HKEPC Hardware has the review, which also includes some pretty pictures of Intels dual core Cedar Mill and Presler prototypes...I think. The screenshots also include what 2 dual core Opterons look like on a Tyan Thunder K8WE...and it looks VERY pleasing.

WOW check out the PI result!

I don't suppose anyone knows what those Two SLI video cards are?

That would be a very very good folding machine too!

Yeh its SLI, but not Vanilla SLI. The NForce 4 Pro chipsets use 32 PCI-E lanes. In other words, theres 16x for each PCI-E graphics slot, instead of the normal 8x each.
