Would like to get one from Tank Guys, but they don't take Paypal. Also, considering Dave, but would like to hear about recent acquisitions from ZZF, Egg, Mwave and Monarch.
Thanks

You'll be a bit hard pressed to find any 0550's since they're an "older" week now, but it's possible that Monarch/ZZF/NewEgg may still have some, but it'd be a luck of the draw. I have heard though that if you call Monarch and are really lucky, they'll sometimes tell you the stepping. You may want to see if they have any 0550's first![]()

I do appreciate that about Tankguys, you basically know what stepping you're getting before you even order.

When you are looking at a specific processor (The 165, for example) there are the options just above the "Reviews" and "Add to cart" buttons. There are pull down menus to select thermal grease, a motherboard, and the stepping. We list right there which steppings are available for any given processor.
We don't have that info for a lot of processors though, because we can only list the ones I physically have in stock at any given time, and I only order based on demand... so right now, I just have stepping info for the Opteron 146/165/170 OEM processors right now.

on another sidenot, i was thinking about getting the mushkin redline 2x1GB XP4000 kit for my dfi ultra-d and the opty 165, heard nothing but great things about the memory and it's oc abilities, but is it worth the cost. Sorry for the hijack.

that is up to you..perfromance wise the cpu speed is most important but there are so who need ram that does 1:1 speeds or close to it...but remember the memory controller is on the chip....there are so apps that will benefit from faster ram
I use crucial valuram..it was over the summer the best bang for the buck in 2 x 1gb sticks...I am thrilled with it
You are better off putting the money into a faster videocard or pocketing it for a future upgrade

This is the last piece of the new system, not going to be any upgrades for quite some time as it's already pretty top of the line. Here are the specs.
Antec P160
Antec NeoPower NeoHE550w Modular PS
DFI Ultra-D
WD 150GB Raptor
ATI Radeon X1900XT 512MB GDDR3 PCI E
Opty 165
2 optical DVD-RW's one Lite On with lightscribe, the other NEC newer model
Mem is the last thing and i think i'm gonna go ahead and go with the mushkin redline, invested enough already so might as well get one last top quality part.
