Opteron Gaming Benchmarks

bishop writes "Ace's Hardware has published some Unreal Tournament 2003 benchmark results on a 1.8 GHz Opteron 244. The Opteron servers out right now don't have AGP, but this issue has been nullified, literally, through the use of the 'null renderer' option in UT2003 to bypass the display output. At 1.8 GHz, the Opteron manages to outpace all previous Athlon models, though it does still fall behind the 3 GHz Pentium 4 by about 8%." Only 8% slower in performance with a 40% slower clock speed. Not too shabby.

I'd pay 50 dollars!

I'll run out and buy one for my blind neighbor.
so I can cream him on tokara forest.
Maybe I can hook up a more advanced version of
that cool braille output doohickey from the
movie sneakers so he can feel the pain with
his fingers.
