Just to back it up.
CPU was $230 Au (Now unavailable) 144 S939 Opteron (100Quid?)
@300MHz, ram on 1.66 divider, 2.8v (As high as the board goes)
Std speed 2GHz. If I had some decent RAM it'd really boogie.
Using Gigabyte GA8N-sc939 board, el cheapo RAM, 6600GT (AGP), Audigy 2, Twinhan DTV, Antec 480w, WD200Gb SATA2, Arctic Cooler 64 Pro.
Oh yeah, it has a low performance operator :haha:
Nah, the 2500+ Barton I had (At 3200+) was Ok, but I built a Venice SLi for a friend and got jealous. I knew the Opty's were the way to go and got in early. 2Mb Cache seems to make a big diff in some tests. Benchmarks aren't everything, if it does what U ask of it quickly and without error, it's sweet!
As soon as I went 64 bit (32 bit XP) everything seemed effortless! I'm saving for a Dual core Opty!
Bang for a budget!
I'm also restricted to an NF3 board. I couldn't wear a new GPU as well.
