BLEACHERMAN1 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 What would you say about the DC CPU still opty? 3800+ X 2 or 4000+ X 2 or go with the DC opty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyGuns Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Looks like Opty is a winner!! I would seriously consider the used opty but new ones are only $150 now. And as far a the release date and stepping. I know how that works, I am an old AMD socket A mobile overclocker :cool: Unfortunately it is stuff to get online Vendors to guarantee a particular stepping. It is all wharehouse FOB these days! I think Mwave or Monarch will do stepping guarantee. But I am in love with NewEgg :angel: Since we are on the subject : What stepping would you guys recommend that has been releasesd in the last year, that MIGHT still be in stock at online stores? OH.....I don't want dual anything yet!! :eek2: That will be next year Thanks Again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdoradz Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Known good steppings that are capable of 3ghz: CCB1E 0550VPMW CCBWE 0550UPMW (Some are crappy actually) CCB1E 0605XPMW CCB1E 0606VPMW CCB1E 0608MPMW CCB1E 0609FPAW CCB1E 0609FPMW CCBBE 0610DPMW CCBBE 0615DPMW Honorable Mention: CCBWE 0530TPMW (2.9ghz avg.) CCBWE 0546XPMW (2.85ghz avg.)

RustyGuns Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 opterons require registered ecc ram? :mad: tell me no!!!!:eek2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDude05 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Opterons do not require ECC ram. And Newegg has been shipping some good 165 and 14* steppings lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackobreath Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Socket 940 Opterons use ECC RAM, Socket 939 Opterons use regular unbuffered non-ECC 184-pin DDR RAM. And also, I'll put in another vote for an Opteron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
