opteron 146 or 3700?

[MantisCSS]

would u say my system was good enough to get a good speed out of a 146?

Yeah, no problem I'd say.

Because of the multi-

240 FSB- Divider 333= DDR 200x2= DDR 400= PC 3200

240 X10= 2.4ghz =146 at 4000+

240x11= 2.6= 3700+ at FX55

That still doesnt explain why you need performace RAM for a 146 ?
Unless your planning on doing 1:1 on the CPU (little point), then some crucial will do fine...

PC4000 memory on a 1:1 divider will get you 270fsb max(ish). Using a lower divider will get you a higher fsb (using a divider such as 166 etc on a a64 system has no real noticable performance hit).

As long as the motherboard can do 300fsb+ you will be fine.

Great stuff!! So a 3700+ it is then
