Computer Update

Well, turns out I’m probably not going to be getting the dual-core opteron processors, they are just too expensive right now for the speed I need.  However, Intel’s core 2 duo line is a lot less expensive for the speed.  (never thought I’d see the day when intel was cheaper than AMD)  So, I am now looking for a mobo that will support 2 intel core 2 duo’s.  It will probably have to be a server board, as i doubt that the client side boards are up to that level yet, but i’m hoping that i can at least find a board that will take at least 16 megs of ram.  I also want to make sure i can use RAID, as from what i’ve seen on a friends pc, vista seems to handle raid very well, reading multiple drives as a single drive – and with the amount of data I will be storing, that would be a very good thing for me.  I was always having to move things back and forth to make sure i had enough room in the right places.
