Ace Computers.

We are having a seminar here and the Head of MS security is comming to give a talk about what they have planned. and AMD is showing up. David Makin (anyone who attended PCALAN will remember him) and he is talking about the opteron bit and some athlon64 and what ever else.

So I am getting in 2 opteron 244's or 246's and building a system around it.
