Holy Shhhhhhh....drop it like its hot! A X2 3800+ goes for about that much!

 

[tbogstad]

its a good price, but its been this price before, i got my opty 165 for $265.00 + $8.00
shipping

good deal if you want the 3 year warranty and retail heatsink.

some nice deals from mwave lately.

 

[Trikat]

Pretty good deal since it is a retail boxed item.

 

[Ike0069]

Excellent price, and the retail HSF is very good.

 

[brystmar]

i'm in for one

 

[z00mX]

anyone know what kind of stepping are they shipping...?

 

[macaddict]

Hmm...heck of a price and thats my next purchase as well! Really curious what stepping they are shipping at that price though.

 

[dman918]

I ordered one, so I will try to post it up when I get it...

 

[macaddict]

Thanks dman918, that would be great. Hope you get the latest stepping!

 

[dman918]

NP. I ordered yesterday, so I hope to get it by Friday. BTW, they have a new OEM for $265 as well. I was REALLY tempted by it, but went retail instead, even though I already have a XP90 for it and will be OCing (obviously). I guess I felt it was worth $30 to get retail anyway. I hope this was the best decision over a 3800+ x2 or 3700+...

 

[akugami]

Is that $297 shipped, if not how much is shipping?

 

[dman918]

Shipping is $7-$8, so $305 shipped is a great price for a retail opteron 165. Couldn't find a better price anywhere but ebay, and I'll spend the extra $15 to get it from a reputable online retailer.

 

[dman918]

FYI, mine was shipped yesterday but FedEx says estimated delivery is Monday. I will let everyone know then. BTW, I may need some help OCing this thing, so expect me to ask for it. MSI Neo4 SLI mobo and 2GB OCZ platinum DDR400.
Now, I will need to download some drivers/patches for dual core, correct?

 

[intogamer]

Depends.. if you have a older mobo

 

[SkylinGTR26]

really good deal cant wait to pick up one of these!

 

[dman918]

MSI Neo 4 SLI mobo with the latest bios. Isn't there a windows driver too? I am going to look a little, but I heard there is a modded bios for the msi board that gives you more memory divider options...

Got mine today, stepping CCBWE 0547TPMW

How does this stack up to other steppings?

 

[Smartazz]

Thanks man, I think I might go with a dual core opteron over the single core one now, but I can't decide to get the oem one or the retail one?

 

[imported_djspe]

Can recent buyers report overclocking results on these chips? Thinking of selling my 3200 venice (oc'd to 2.5Ghz) for this. TIA

 

[dman918]

Looks like that stepping is a winner. One of the better ones according to my yahoo searches.

[RallyMaster]
