July 11, 200521 yr Pricewatch brings up those prices for both of those, 242's for $158, 244's for $203I see dual core desktops coming closer and closer, makes me wish I would have waited for this.....ALSO, AMD has release more dual core Athlon 64's, prices are as follows,4800 $10494600 $8154400 $5354200 $537No plans heard of yet for any dual processor Athlon 64 motherboards yet, still for a multiple core/processor setup, the Opterons are the most economically and financially sound....Just a bit of news for everybody..mrvader89
July 15, 200521 yr Just remember that for the Opteron, you need ECC RAM, which goes for more money than non-ECC RAM. You also need a motherboard for them. The problem with the motherboards in this case are that most of them are server motherboards, therefore more expensive.
July 19, 200521 yr Those Opteron's (240, 242) are not the dual core parts. The dual core chips are numbered x65, x70, and x75 (where x = 1 or 2 or 8).
