Go up one level in this thread


$2400+ sounds a little high www.xicomputers.com has a dual opteron (240) base
price of $1,549.  I think the AMD Opteron 140 is down to $193 now less than the
AMD-64's  Best thing is to look at some prebuilt's componentwise then shop
around for parts and build your own.  3 year warranties aren't really worth it
anymore.

Also consider that dual core opterons will be available in mid-late 2005, maybe
earlier if Intel get's really desparate and forces the issue.  Supposedly pin
compatible with single processors.  Not sure which pin they mean. Probably the
939
pin ones that are about to be released.
