I'm not really sure you can do that... as far as I know.. you need 2 CPUs on a dual mobo or it wont work.. (for Opterons at least)Originally posted by Mantat
The best would be a board that allow dual Opteron, just get one now (the cheapest) and after xmast, get rid of the CPU and replace it with 2 dual core Opteron. This will give you the equivalent of 4 CPU in a single machine!
This is the most #future proof# solution I can give you.
but try it.. it might work...
I'm thinking of getting rid of this dual opteron PC and upgrading it but now that I wanna buy a car, I guess it'll be ok

well ... if youre asking a question there... I guess a good thing about a dual setup is that you can run maya while have Photoshop open and not see any lag at all...Originally posted by Pony

or you can render stuff on one CPU and use the PC for web and other stuff while waiting on the other CPU...

My machine totally kicked the butt of an Athlon 64 3200 with loads of memory and scsi raid so even the dual AMD's, especially with thier cheaper costs right now are a great upgrade for anyone using 3d software.
As for memory, well that really depends on the board you're looking to purchase.

The AMD MP are the best performance/$ right now, BUT the opteron boards will allow the use of the dual core proc in early 2005. This is why I said that getting a single opteron right now and upgrading better is the best investment in the long run.
There is supposed to be a way to mod a athlon xp into a mp but I dont know how.
