Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console

Posted by timothy on from the as-if-you-have-an-opteron dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new 64-bit Linux CD can instantly turn an AMD Opteron-equipped PC into the ultimate gaming console, according to Super Computer Inc. (SCI). The company has created a distribution of the popular America's Army multi-player strategy game on a bootable Linux CD, that it says was developed in partnership with AMD, nVidia, and the US Army."

    From the title Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console

    Hmm a console to play the one game ever made for Linux?

    Hey, that is what it sounds like! At least that makes me feel better about being a Mac user :)

    If that's the killer niche app for the opteron, I feel sorry for AMD!...

    A game about killing people from the US army, if that isn't a killer app I don't know what is ;-)
