Nothing much! Only AMD's best socket 939 dual-core CPU! It's a better FX-60! It's the Top AMD 939 CPU and it overclocks better than the FX-60!
That would be some pretty good gains, don't you think? The Quality at the Opteron level is far less dependent on getting lucky because the standards for the cores are higher than they are for any other AMD chips! Only the best pass! Within reason, most will perform at the same level so you can be reasonably sure of getting excellent performance. It's also $110 cheaper than the FX-60
How long they will be available is the question. Right now the 185 is the hottest selling CPU because it's become an $800 upgrade for all the AMD servers out there running 165 and 170 processors that all have Dual-Socket 939 motherboards. Once that market exhausts itself, then AMD will stop production! As long as they are selling, the price will keep coming down. I had told myself a long time ago that when the price fell under $400 I would buy one. Now it's at $349. It's awful tempting to me!

Not really as it's just a matter of thier price from AMD going down. Most companies have a fixed percentage that's added to thier buy cost. For sure they made more money before but it cost them more too!

GTR35,
Did you get the e-mails? If you got it working, what did you think? Just curious as everybody's musical tastes are different. Great sound system test though!

More than likely a good move since you have a socket 939 now! I just bought a bunch of stuff today, so I'll have to wait a while.
I sold the Prescott & Asus MB as my customer wanted Intel, so I made her a deal. Now I'm gonna use A Biostar Tfource 6100 MB with the Athlon 64 4000+ to replace it as my roomie wants a fast single core as he doesn't need a dualie for surfing the net. I've used the Gfource motherboards a couple of times and I like them so for $8.00 more, I'll go with the TFource which is a much better MB with a lot better adjustments for overclocking! I also ordered a nice CM case, Silver DVD-Rom and DVD-RW drives (to match the case) and PS for the customer build and a nice Seagate 160 sata 3.0 for me to replace my 120 ata, which I sold as well!
In all I spent about $525. Not bad for what we'll get out of it!

I don't get to disagree often and be right but there are single core opterons! All the Venus cores are single core from the 144 at 1.8GHz to the 154 at 2.8GHz. There are others as well but they are for different sockets!
