Opteron 170

[lazerman]

What stepping or do you not know yet?

I would get the 170 just for the multiplier... That will help out alot...

I bought my 3200+ over a 3000+ for that exact reason and I regret it every day...I could have easily pocketed a few extra dollars and probably achieved close to the same results from the 3000+ but I wanted the 10x multi at the time, but looking back it isn't really very important

Oh well, I ordered a 170, but this will be my last computer purchase for quite a while...I think I'm going to use the 3200+ in a webserver but I'm not sure, I really don't want to spend any more money on parts since I have spent far too much this year alone

help me with my problem

I bought my 3200+ over a 3000+ for that exact reason and I regret it every day...I could have easily pocketed a few extra dollars and probably achieved close to the same results from the 3000+ but I wanted the 10x multi at the time, but looking back it isn't really very important

agreed, shoulda just bought the 3000+ and saved $50...I wasn't even worried about the multiplier because I was figuring I'd want the HTT rather high anyway and it'd probably wind up needing to be 9......buuut nooooo I figured the 3200+ would have that extra 200MHz so I thought it might go up pretty high.

HOWEVER, YOU cant complain since your venice works nicely.

GIVE IT TO ME DAMNIT! You're gonna have a fancy opteron! You dont need that 'crappy' venice!

As far as removing heatsinks go, watercooling is nice there....I twist a couple screws and can pull the block off with no probs...real easy to remove and change out a processor
