I'm not quite as familiar with the subtleties of these setups as you are, so I
have a question. Is the situation that the Athlon FX and Athlon 64 can use lower
latency memory, while the Opteron requires higher latency memory? If this is the
case, why is this the case? Does it have to do with the multiprocessing
capabilities of the Opteron?
