I'm thinking of building a new system, but I'm pretty unsure what components to use. Maybe someone has experiences already and can give me some comments.Primarily I wonder whether one of the new Opterons (Barcelona, e.g the 2350 Model), maybe even two of them, together with a mid-range NV 8800 adapter (price range approx. EUR 360) would have significant advantages over a more conventional Core2 Duo (e.g. 6750) and top notch NV 8600 approach.The price difference between such two combinations would be more than considerable. I also question whether to wait still longer for newer processors (Phenom comes to my mind) would be recommended.In all cases I'd run Vista and 8 GB RAM, and a RAID with 3-5 drives.Andreas
