They're already starting to list Opterons on various pages but I'm >not sure if you can get one RIGHT now though. Does soon mean in one month, 3 or 6? And i see that the actual clock speed of the opteron is only 1.8 Ghz or something? How is that faster than an a dual AMD Athlon 2.13 Ghz or Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz?
