Hopefully you guys enjoy questions, because I got a lot of them, but I will start with just these few...
The motherboard I have chosen for my new computer is the Tyan Thunder K8WE (~$417) for a dual opteron system. Now, at first I was considering buying two opteron 248 (~2 x $248) processors, but then I thought I could better future proof my computer buy buying one AMD 4400 dual core (~$490). This way, I could purchase an additional dual core chip later to upgrade.
My questions is this...
1) Is it possible to only install one dual core chip on this board and have it run?
2) Do you suggest going with the dual core or the 2 opterons?
3) Any additional info/suggestions about my motherboard choice are welcome.
Thanks,
bigred
