[geeks] FYI: Problems with Quad COre Opterons reported

[Lionel Peterson]

Thought some here might be interested, it apears there is a problem with the new 
Quad Core Opterons - problems serious enough for AMD to stop shipping them until 
the problems are solved. There appears to be a BIOS-based work-around, but it 
causes a serious performance hit (up to 20% reduction in speed):
