This new chipset is scaleable and has a lot integrated into it which makes it ideal for server and workstation environments. Using a fifth-generation HyperTransport design it directly connects to the AMD Opteron to provide an 800MHz connection. Because the Operons are 32/64-bit compatible this chipset is as well. According to this slide the dual core processors from AMD should be unveiled sometime this year and will be supported. This chipset also uses a Unified Driver Architecture which means the drivers are backwards and forwards compatible with NVIDIA hardware. This will save you from frustration because you won't have to keep track of many drivers like you normally would with an OEM system.
