Wow, clearly. I don't know whether to laugh at the 4000+ X2 or not.

I don't know if he's serious or he threw out whatever he could and expected us to formulate the "perfect" rig for him?


:confused:
 
Yeah, don't be dicks guys, offer some advice.

Get the Opteron 165. That's where they were going...
 
well if you do want a 2.4ghz single core a64 then go with the opteron equivalent. I found it actually ends up being cheaper. not sure how.

I also have a question even though this isn't my thread.

I plan on overclocking, so I was thinking of either getting the 144 or 146 single core or the 165 or 170 dual core. Which would be a better bargain. I was originally shooting for a 146 and trying to get fx57 speeds but now that the fx60 is out i could go for the 165/170 and try for 2.6

The 165 if you can afford it. Always get the best you can afford. I know there's people that wil lsay "Oh, but AMD/Intel will have a new socket out soon!" Well, then you'll NEVER upgrade.
 
OK, thanks I think 165 will be a good choice. I want to get one before AMD shuts down production.
 
Go with dfi nf4 instead of a8n. The asus is one of the worst i've ever had with so many problems (especially when OCing). The DFI nf4 (ultra, sli and expert) are all amazing boards with many different bioses available depending on which ram you like to run. However it does require some tweaking.
