Don't know what your problem was but it's atypical.
You need 15 for dual core support though (will run single core before that)

Other problems maybe but not booting they don't.Nathan0490 said:Actually, i havent seen 1 165 opteron user that hasnt been having these problems with their an8-sli, I read the abit forums to find many others with this problem.
