Too bad they aren't slashing the 165, 170,175, or 180 prices. Oh wait I already bought my 165 lol should be shipping soon😉 😛

Thanks for the info BadThad !!!

My eyes will be getting new glasses and contacts soon, eye appointment today 🙂
Should help with the dang typos, as I will be able to read the letters instead of guessing them. lol

Hope so too. Can't imagine hobbling along with only 1 processor. 😛

Thanks, BadThad, for the link.

It's been a while since I visited the inquirer. Great site. :thumbsup:

Too bad I can't take advantage of the upcomming AMD firesale. 🙁
Just got the 2nd of two $500.00 co/pay bills from the hospital when my wife broke both leg bones attached to her left ankle back in September '05 (knew it was comming - praying that they forgot :shocked: ).

:evil: Aren't HMO's Grand? :evil:

How does the Opteron compare to X2 or FX-60 in terms of price/performance ratio?

The FX series in unlocked. It can go almost as high as your willing to, barring being fried or hitting the ceiling of the chip. That being said, you'll get more performance out of two or more X2 rigs for the price of that FX chip. 🙂

Ouch, I hope she is doing netter and feeling better. I hate doctors so I am biased, I don't hate the ones I don't have to go to though 🙂

Thanks, Wolfsraider, for you kind words for my wife. She is not 100% yet, is still a long way from walking yet (will find out today what the Orthopaedic surgeon says and how much weight she can safely put on that foot - this will help the therapist in what she can do for Babs).
This all started in Feb last year with her diagnosis of breast cancer (currently doing Radiation treatments - more than halfway through that) - prognosis is very good, btw. 2 of our cats passed away prior to Christmas and the 15 year old Toyota Camry wants to follow them. A downer of a year for us but we are still hanging in there.

Hope all is well...
