Opteron 22xx and the dotnet platform
-
Hi. i'm about to buy a new computer for programming as my old one is nearly dead when it comes to compiling. The new computer contains 2xOpteron 2214 2Ghz processors, is that a bad choice when it comes to C# development? Does the opteron run with a diffrent platform? or are they still x86-64 compatible?

For most projects that's overkill, but if you're compiling a big project or hosting a large local DB you can never have too much hardware. Opterons are the high end server/workstation version of the Athlon64, they're x86-64 chips.
