Hi everyone. I just came across some huge deal, an amd opteron 4122, for 110$. That's six core running at 2,2 ghz. I just wanted to know if there's any affordable way to assemble a 2 or 4 socket motherboard with 2 or 4 of those and a few gpu's. A 12 core system,even running at 2,2 ghz should do quite some ppd.
I think the problem is choosing the right motherboard and memory. I'm open to any suggestion or offer on that.
Other than that, i already have a corsair tx850 power supply (70A), hard drive, and gpus (gtx 470 or gtx 460 or gtx 275 co-op). I know my case can take e-atx motherboard (stacker 830).
And finally, could it run windows 7 or must it be dedicated? Could i use normal software and run games on it, or will it be only useable by an advance computer tech (which i'm not)?
Could it be better than my i7 rig in ppd performance?
