isnt the opteron 150 the same CPU? because its over 100$ cheaper

 

[clarkey01]

i forgot the roadmaps, but the next fx is the FX 55 @ 2.6Ghz ( 0.13 Micron process? ), FX 57 @ 2.8, FX 59 @ 3Ghz and maybe FX 61 @ 3.2Ghz.

Someone hinted that AMD would need 65 nm process to go over 3.2Ghz

Opteron's need Registered ECC memory FX's just need registered

Ahhh... ECC, registered... blah... where the hell is socket 939 so I can use my Mushkin Level One PC3500?

well, I certainly don't

But your point is valid...computers, even high-end ones, are a cheap hobby compared to cars.
