I am considering to buy both dual 2.4ghz opteron (FX-53) and dual amd 2.56ghz If I can get the dual amd 2.56 ghz in less than 500$ then I am going to get it. The question is if the price of less than 500$ is correct for Israel. I am also not sure at this moment which opteron to buy. I understand that there is 246 and 248 and in the near future there is going to be opteron250. People try to help me to get information where to buy and I need advice what exactly to ask. Uri
