    Opteron compatibility

    I was just looking at a Opteron 180

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=289421

    and I just wondered would a AN8 32X be compatible with this type of cpu and what problems are there or should I just wait and go for a 4800X2

    AMD won't let mobo manufacturers claim Opteron compatabilty on normal desktop boards.
    However, there are plenty of people running Opterons (single & dual cores) on abits (incl. AN8 32Xs) - you can check on the abit-USA forum if you want.

    MSI P55-GD80, i5 750
    abit A-S78H, Phenom 9750,
