I took an old MB from the socket 939 days, teamed it up with a Dual-core Opteron and 4gb ECC memory. The MB already had built in SATA RAID and PCIe, so it's now a tidy little workstation for a real sweet price.

It may not look like much out of the box, with its 1.8GHz stock frequency, but once you mount the Skt 939 Opteron 165 in a capable motherboard and overclock it, it's easily capable of running at speeds faster than the best that Skt 939 has to offer, the FX-60 (2.6GHz).Allied to an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, the Opteron 165 is easily capable of hitting circa 2.6GHz at stock voltage and using the stock heatsink-fan cooling unit. Presently, I've got my Opteron 165 running at a super-stable 2.7GHz with just a small bump up in core voltage. Many various reports all over the internet testify to this dual-core processor's ability to go up to around 3.0GHz, but to do so you need to have a chip from one of the legendary CCBBE 0610DPMW steppings. My particular chip is from the CCBBE 0616XPMW stepping, which is also a very capable batch.If I so chose to, and especially if I used water-cooling on this chip, I could extract even more performance. It's purely by choice that I'm not pushing it harder. But the potential and headroom for performance ARE there.If you're into gaming, or into any kind of multi-threaded applications (video and other media encoding, for example), the Opteron 165 is a superb choice, especially if you overclock the processor. At a fraction of the price, you can keep up with all but the fastest AMD chips at their stock speeds. With skill, patience, and the right equipment, you can even outrun the best AMDs. Intel's best, on the other hand, are a little bit out of reach, but that's an apples to oranges kind of comparison anyway.Highly recommended!

I got mine in November and was lucky to get a CBBE that runs 2.7GHz on stock voltages and stock cooling. Great price/performance.
