I better get saving!

So is anyone here running one of these dual opti 275 setups? I might just need one of these.

Wow, I really like that numbering system :D that would make it so easy to remember clock speeds! hmmmmm 95W X4? :D

I can't understand what took so long to fix the numbering. Didn't they start out making sense, and then got crazey?

I have to put a dual opti box on my birthday list.

Gotta start researching mb's. Any suggestions?

No but they look good in that CPU comparison.
Been trying to find a decent motherboard and memory to suit. Any ideas?

It looks like for keeping the MB price under 300, I see several feature rich mb options that look good from tyan. I like the second one.

Tyan Tiger K8WE (S2877ANRF) Dual Opteron/ nForce Pro 2200/ A&GbE Server Motherboard EWIZ 262.00

TYAN S3870G2NR-RS Dual Socket 940 ServerWorks HT1000 ATX Server Motherboard new egg 260.00

I just lost a bid today for a pair of opteron 280's on ebay. I'm bummed. It went about 80 bucks past my bid. What a deal for someone.
