    165 opteron

    i can grab a few by wednesday, so not really worried about "getting" them. it's the delivery time frame that i'm worried about to the end user. dave

    165 opteron

    lordy...gotta update the price page to link it straight into the forum where most of this stuff is. we're doing a SLOW transition to the storefront, so...it's taking a wee bit of time. right now, no 165s but definitely have some hot LDBHE 3800+'s which can be had for much cheaper. dave

    for courtesy purposes...drop 5% from these prices (which are my end user pricing) and you've got the AMD distro pricing. 265 box $343.35 265 tray $ 322.35 270 box $ 484.05 270 tray $ 463.05 275 box $ 723.45 275 tray $ 702.45 280 box $ 887.25 280 tray $ 866.25 enjoy..(and yes...

    Opteron 165 is discontinued

    885 = february introduction 285 = march availability 185 = april availability there has been absolutely no mention of EOL on the 165 from AMD or otherwise. Normally, AMD will EOL a part to distros first after a lengthy period of allocation before dropping it. As the case stands, there is...

    AMD not making 146's anymore?

    dude, you could by my 175 tray for that cost and enjoy double the core action. sorry, that's not what the market will bear at this point. :) take it from a guy who knows. dave

    AMD not making 146's anymore?

    they're dropping like flies mate....monarch just dropped the 144s, and i'm pretty sure that most other sites will too. dave

    AMD not making 146's anymore?

    they're still being made but should be EOL'd in late Q2 or Q3. buy.com, monarch, etc. are not going to be carrying them because of the pricing increase. dave

    Opteron 165 vs Opteron 170

    Opteron with a date of 0601?

    http://www.flickerdown.com/pricing.html i do bulk shipments over to Germany (have a guy over there who's turning them around). In any case, my overage is 5% to cover cc fees and a slim profit margin (< 2% when all is said and done) dave

    Opteron 165 0546 CCBWE F(S)PMW :P

    well, i suppose i could charge extra for the boxes to make them on parity with the trays.... dude, that's what i'm paying....if you knock 5% off the cost, that's what the distrib is charging me....yes, it's odd, but i've got no reason for it whatsoever. :) dave

    Slashed 265 prices?

    guys, nothing new is really coming. the 285 will be released in March after February's introduction of the 885. yes, prices are coming down and i've advised every person interested in 2p/4core systems to hold off...trust me, it'll be worth it. :) dave

    About to pull the trigger on an Opty 170...

    Matt2, those 170s are great chips....I'm pretty sure TankGuys offers a DOA warranty so...check with them. However, AMD does not provide US with a warranty, so it's disengenuous for us to say otherwise. btw, those 170s are hand-picked by someone.... *wink* dave

    About to pull the trigger on an Opty 170...

    OVERALL, it might require a bit more voltage than other steppings (0550s, for example) to get there, but....there seems to be a high incidence of people with 0546xpmws hitting 2.7-2.9 barriers with relative ease. You've also got to look at the variables within the overclocking (which is why i'm...

    Two Dual-Core CPU's?

    ok, since this happens to be an area of specialty for me. 1.) no, you cannot run 100-series, FX-60s, or X2s in a dual processor board because they only have 1 coherent HT link. You can run 200-series and 800-series dual core procs on the same board, however. 2.) WinXP Pro should work just...
