good review.....
....it was cost that drove my decision to buy opteron's and supermicro motherboard.it cost me about £1200 total....the cost of 1 xeon!
primarily rendering is my thing and 3d studio will zip along.i remember trying to render on my old athlon rig and it would take 1hr per...
.....use a server board for their system?
i run a supermicro H8QN-3 mobo with 4x quad core opteron installed.i am thinking of upping to 4x 6core units soon.or changing the motherboard to a later ddr3 and magnycor motherboard allowing 4x 12 core cpu's.

hmmm.... i have tried to phone them!
every single time i have rung i get engaged tone...from 8am till 5pm engaged.once i did actually get through(regarding another order)and the guy there said "could you hold...."so i did and the line went dead!
i realised why..it was 17:04 pm!!!!..obviously...
i remember having exact same problem a while back...turned out to be nvidia SWIDE drivers...just incompatible.
ya never know huh?
the fact that ya have run memtest would suggest hdisk side of things?
ROB :O)
ANY news on stock of the xfx units??
its really not good enough to be waiting for 6weeks...my mobo is the same story(Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe)
i had exact trouble with 6800 ultra and ended up getting a 6800gt after waiting 5mnths!
i am dying to get these units in my comp....
regards
