Apparently. The 875 is the fastest dual-core out, and runs at 2.2ghz. I'm surprised they have a single-chip version that runs faster... > >Do you know if the deep programs out of the box can utilize all 4 processors Not a clue. I noticed at the WCCC that neither of the two "deep programs" chose to use a quad dual-core box, although there are plenty of them available. However it does take some work to make it work well. > >I am considering a dual opteron 275 setup > >Any advise you can impart ? Will be a good box.
