kingdingeling Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 yes, the optEron 175 will work on your board, although it is not officially supported. Also, you will most likely need a BIOS update for it to work. RAM is more than fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 before... Â i'd be wary of the price of dual core opterons vs those of the x2 cpus... if you can get a 175 really cheap, go for it by all means... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkJenT Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 If you can, you can get an X2 4400 at Zipzoomfly.com for $198+free shipping anywhere in the continental US. Here is the link. Just something to keep in mind as NRG has informed you to keep wary of the price of dual core optersons vs those of the x2 cpus. I believe you would be saving at least $30 over the dual operation.

UkJenT Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Dang, you Europeans pay a hefty price for PC components. I could get the opteron for 230 here. Yikes... poor European friends. I send you my sympathy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
