[CPMD-list] Thinking about buying an AMD Opteron system...

[mkosmows]

Dear CPMD community:
 
I am thinking about buying an AMD dual Opteron machine to run CPMD on 
and was wondering if anyone has any experience or opinions to share.  Most 
importantly, I am hoping to find out for sure if an Opteron based machine will 
be able to allocate more than 1 Gb of memory to a single process.  If I do 
make the purchase, I would use the 64 bit version of Mandrake Linux 9.0 and 
the 64 bit version of the PGI compiler.
 
Thank you for any advice you all might have,
