wasnt aware that they didnt decrease price on opterons, and sounds like they are using a higher grade silicon in the newer X2's.

The reason oc'ers buy optys is because its server cpu grade silicon, for better stability and such, and being of a finer grade, allows the chip to clock higher.

If they reconstructed the X2's to produce 89w, i'd say they are using a finer grade, more effecient silicon/circuitry.. go for the x2!!! :)

Yup, I'm going for the X2 3800+ (Maybe X2 4400+) but only $60 in cash.:( I have a few thousand, but don't want to spend it...need for something else.:( Oh well, there's other "special" days coming up, like Christmas (which not everyone celebrates) and B-day too. I usually don't celebrate B-day, but just might for $.;)
