I was looking to put together an amd 64 box and realized they have
several models, I thought there was one AMD64 (Opteron), but it looks
like 4:
ATHLON 64 CPU SOCKET 754
ATHLON 64 FX CPU
OPTERON CPU
ATHLON 64 CPU SOCKET 939
The box (Shuttle) I want to put it in only seems to support socket 754
So, with Opteron and FX out
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Proce.../0,,30_182_869,00.html
I'm now deciding to go with Athlon 64 or Athlon XP.

comparing Mhz to $$$ Athlon 64 is a better value.

(it's a moving target but that seems the best vendor at the moment)
and it looks like:
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Processor Socket 754, 512KB @ $220.00
on the Shuttle SK83G.
Does this look like a good choice? Have I missed something?
Oh, and I want sound and video with standard Linux/BSD kernels...
