Look at the same table one column to the right were all these 3000+ numbers are. There you find the AMD Athlon 3400+ for 417 $. What about this system? Athlon 64 3000+ (FSB 1600, 1MB) Box - 3 years warranty - 3 years warranty ($277.76) GA-K8NPRO (nForce3,AMD64,SATA SB,Raid,Lan1G,FW) ($148.20) DDR 512MB/400 PC3200 Elixir/Digma/OEM ($92.00) DDR 512MB/400 PC3200 Elixir/Digma/OEM ($92.00) WD SATA160GB, 7200 rpm 8MB - 3 year warranty ($137.86) ATI Radeon 7000 64MB,TV Out, Dual Head (of Octek) ($49.20) Midi ATX + 2USB 400W (329-1) ($44.20) DVD Toshiba 16x48, Bulk in stock ($35.96) Price USD: 877.18 Price NIS: 4542.52 I configured it online on http://www.compu21.co.il/. It has only tht AMD Athlon 3000+ which is clocked at 2.0 GHz, so it is probably 10 % slower than your Opteron 248, but it is below 900 $ and you can buy three of them. regards Joachim
