I have noticed no lower performance on my Opteron, it's just getting not so hot. With the memory I hadn't problems with other programs, but I need Toast, there no DVD burning prog which can be compared with it. It's a bad feeling to disable 1 full Gig of RAM but believe me you don't notice it. I'm working with Logic and 3 Gig are enough. If there are problems, it's worth a try.
For the system: I would recommend to use the Marvell port. skge.kext works better than forcedeth(-v) driver. You can install both drivers this no problem, but I'm using the Marvell Port. I made some changes to my installation guide, so take a look.
To all: plz only use quotes if it's really neccessary.
