How about someone just dropping in on the Rookie League with Opteron's or Xeon's and walks away with all (3) THREE stages.
How is my 4 core/8 thread 2600, 3770, 4790, ECt, ECt, going to compete against a 10 core /20 thread Xeon whether it be retail or es.
The real bad news would start when you found out that he/she was using 2 or 4 Opteron's or Xeon's.
Would you not say that the Rookie Competition was already won by the Person with the Server Motherboard?????????
Thank You For Your Time
