Building a server running linux (Prob Gentoo). Should I go for an Opteron or Athlon?
Also any comments on what i've selected (Went for athlon at first):
1 x Seagate ST3300831AS Barracuda 300GB 7200RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache - OEM £73.40 £73.40
1 x AMD Athlon 64 (ADA3700BNBOX) 3700 CPU Skt 939 San Diego Retail inc Heat Sink Fan 3 Years Warranty £126.38 £126.38
2 x CRUCIAL 1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz 184-PIN UNBUFF 128MX64 Memory Modules £48.92 £97.84
1 x Asus A8N-VM S939 NVC51G/MCP51G Matx - Vga Sound Lan USB2 Fsb1000 Sata £41.56 £41.56
1 x Arctic Cooling T1 Silentium 350W Seasonic £45.94 £45.94
Does Sata150 work with a Sata2 board? and Would I be better getting a 250Gigs Sata300 HD for £65 instead?
