There is a new review of an opteron on nf3 motherboard at anandtech. Looks like the opteron is really doing well!

I will. The review is impressive to me. For AMD fanatics as you guys presenting yourself, you are rather poor financial supporters.. Not too many people are going to bite with the price as it is though

I will get FX-51 which will be roughly a disguised Opteron 146.
As soon as it becomes available, hopefully in October.
whatever2003 said:A note of caution:
1. Anandtech is using overclocked Opteron 244 rather than 246. 246 is available but the reviewer, Wesley Fink, has no money for it?
2. The configuration is rather strange to me. 2 Gig registered memory is used and then the benchmarks were compared to the setups where 512 MB of memory is used, something similar to AMDzone earlier review. Wonder if that was not Wesley Fink again? If there is an argument that memory plays no role in these benchmarks (which I doubt, since memory write is impacted by the amount of memory) why the Opteron system is not used with 512 MB?
Name a few independent benchmarks plz.jAY said:

and my view of that benchmark is still YAWN!
i need indipendant benchmarks, not corparate onces that i dont know if I can trust as Whaterver2003 just pointed out
ol' man said:Nice review but I think they should have reviewed a 2GHz PIV vs. a 2GHz opteron. Then it would have been apples to apples. Not this high end 3GHz Intel crap.
