Socket 939 Opterons

[waynejkruse10]

Has any of you had experience or used or have a system with one of the new Opteron 1xx series for 939 boards. How do they perform? How do they overclock, is it a viable solution for a gaming, content creation rig?

Wow I can't believe I missed this thread. The 939 opterons are very good chips. They overclock better than damn near any venice.

Oh, WTF... That's a 939 board. He told me it was a 939.

Still, I know that those 939's OC really well and are stable, don't put out much heat and is good for gaming.

even the cheap opterons run on the same core as the FX57

... I would say go for a 146. They are cheap and I am posotive that you will enjoy it!

the current 939 Opterons are just an A64 San Diego with a different name. I'm not sure if they have a locked or unlocked multiplier though.
and a San diego is just a Venice with twice the L2 cache.

I heard they do have unlocked multipliers
