Hopefully I'll be able to hit 2.6-2.8ghz with the opteron 144 & Asrock mobo(hell if I'm going to part with my 6800gt)

Be careful!

That motherboard does not go over FSB=274 gracefully. I have one. You will have to deal with cold boot problems if you go over 274.

Not if you flash the bios to 1.2 bios or use the ocwbeta1 or 2 bios (ocw has a great asrock thread going). Anything over 1.2 will cap the bus at 274, as you may have noticed. I just installed the ocwbeta2 bios and am sitting on at 275mhz . Looks stable.

Now to reinstall windows on my sata(oi).



Ordered sunday night and recieved my mobo & proc mid-day thursday. Arrived with my psu from Zipzoomfly on the same truck.
