    Socket 939 opterons in short supply...

    ...Unless you know where to look.
    The 1.8GHz Opteron 144 and 2.0GHz Opteron 146 both have a 1000MHz HyperTransport bus and have a Socket 939 pin-out. They operate in the region of 1.35-1.4V, with around 67W of power consumed at stock speeds. Where these puppies come into fruition is when you try to overclock them.

    Anyhoo, getting hold of the things can be an issue, but SCAN apparently have ample stock of the chips.

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    And apparently these are going to face extinction to normal retailers soon, so they are going to be ultra hard to get...
