Few more at mwave.com, good price for those who doesn't need to pay shipping & tax.
Opteron 152
Opteron 150
Opteron 165

165 is OOS, but can backorder, plus this is the retail version.

In for two for a pair of servers for work. Thanks.

 

[snor]

great price, and great buy for those with 939 stuff and looking for an upgrade from single core.

 

[Spikesoldier]

these are the ones that get crazy overclocks right?

 

[OVERKILL]

this is cheap as heck but my only concern is about Monarch's recent reputation

He's saying if the 165 is down to 150 then the 3800 could be dropping to 100. I think it's just a temporary price drop or mistake, though.

 

[Corporate Thug]

ordered.

 

[Avalon]

Bought one even though I dislike Monarch. The price is unbeatable, and I don't mind waiting.

 

[jjmIII]

Damn, and I just bought an x2 3800+ 939 for $152 shipped. Woulda rather had 2x1mb :frown:.
At least it does 2.5ghz easily. Had it at 270 even, but stopped going for more, and went back to the easy 250bus.

 

[bloodugly]

in for 2, lets hope Monarch doesn't f_ck us on this.

 

[tbogstad]

makes me glad i just sold my Opty 165 OEM for $165.00 shipped to the UK, with shipping and paypal fees i ended up with about $150.00, good to know i got full value for the cpu, and can go conroe 6300 for only like $30.00 more for the cpu.

Several month ago monarch had a very good deal on the 144, I bought one and it was ship rather quickly. The thing OC to 2.9Ghz with stock voltage, loved it. Personally I had a mixed experience with monarch, orders usually ship rather quickly, refund and cancel on the other hand is a totally different story, and their CS wasn't too helpful.

 

[jackschmittusa]

Ordered one....now have to explain to the wife why I needed it lol.

 

[Abix]

Yowza. And to think I paid $330 for my Opty 165 a mere 10 months ago...

You can always have an "accident" that needs to be fixed on your wife's computer.

Exactly.

Single-core does choke on every major double task. I've got the Opty 144 single-core.

Waiting for price to come down to a sweeter sweet spot. Try 100$ won't ya.

 

[Engineer]

They raised it to $153.

Been debating this all evening but have decided to wait as I don't have a S939 board.

Thanks OP. Good deal but I'll wait just a tad more and see what the options are!
