A much better deal on the Opteron 146 can be found at TankGuys for $165 backorder.

Thats $80 cheaper than the egg. :Q

EDIT: Monarch has the OEMs in stock for $203, but their retail is the same as the eggs.

I also am in the market for a dual core AMD processor, for my Multi Media PC, I recently built. My system is currently a AMD 64 3000+ running at HTT4 250 fsb, 2x 512Mb Corsair xpert pc 3200 LL ram, (Timings 2.5-3-3-7. 1T command rate), on an MSI K8N Neo 4 Plat SLI board, Latest Bios, I am mainly wanting to know the differences between the X2 series & the opteron 170 & if the differences in FSB make a difference i.e. X2 64=2000 FSB while Opteron 170=1000 is there a performance difference or is it the same fsb just listed different?

Thanks in Advance=)
