Interesting. I might just have to pick one of those up when they come out.

(The sale of my nforce2 board, 760mpx board, barton 2500, mp1200's, and associated RAM should be almost enough for a dual sledgehammer rig, which I assume the NF3 is for...)

Systems will available in the summer of 2003.

I like the fact that it feature 3 IDE connectors. For video editing, it helps since SCSI is expensive for me.

It would be nice if they include 64 bit PCI slots on nforce3 motherboards. If not, I will pass that one.

bjorn 3d says it will use 64bit pci.

(will via stay afloat if nvidia ever decides to create a lowend mobo?)

looks like they are uni-proc boards to me.

I wouldn't touch the Opteron for non-server use...pick up an Athlon 64 DT in Sept. Oh yeah

If it performs, i would pick up the a 64, but opteron is a major success.

For server use, absolutely. But check this review out: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030422/index.html

For gaming (my main focus by far), the Opteron 1.8ghz is not likely to reach the 2600+ level. Although I admit to having next to no idea why this is
