Man, I'd go krazy in games on that one. But I have to wonder.... would AMD's chips be superior? Or Intel's? Supposedly AMD is kicking Intel's tail rite now...

AMD not so good at FPO
by CaptDave86 May 5, 2006 5:36 AM PDT
Unfortunatly AMD still is lacking in the FPO(Floating Point Operations) part of the CPU. intel is better at that and so far always has. Althogh the Opteron did make a (dare I say it) Gigantic leep in the FPO sector.

But yes, I also would have loved to see the Opteron in the new NASA supercomputer.
