Has anyone built a Dual AMD 64 chip comp with Linux? I want to build a math powerhouse comp and thus want the 64bit chips. Dual would be even better. Any suggestions for hardware? Also, will the C++ compiler make 64-bit programs?

One thing you should consider is DDR400 RAM. Only the newer opteron CPU's support it. I believe these would be the new 2.0 and 2.2 Ghz opterons that recently came out. These aren't cheap but they are the only opterons that suport DDR400. Mark James Peacock IV wrote:
