Hi I want to build a computer and found a really good deal on a new pair of Opteron 240 1.4Ghz processors $75 each. I want to be able to do gaming and folding which I think the Opterons can do. I have scoured the forums and google but have not found all the answers. So my questions are these:
1. Can Opterons be used on personal computers, not servers? If so, what difference will there be?
2. Does Windows XP support it?
3. What programs for personal use can take advantage of a dual processor setup?
4. Am I better with a different AMD (no way for Intel) like an Athlon 64 or X2?
Thanks!
