That's a load of bullshit. No one ever complained that the web is unbrowsable or an excel spreadsheet is unworkable without a high-end boutique processor. Those benchmarks are simply a load of bullshit that evaluate something that is utterly irrelevant.
- stolsvik 10y agoHi geezerjay, I'm trying to find a way to contact you - I was wondering whether you could comment on a previous comment about used opterons for "Budget HPC": Where would I go to find this, and build myself such a rig? Links?
- geezerjay 10y agoYou can check ebay, where they are being sold for spare change. That's where I've bought mine.
