Ok....
I dont know if u can but look around if u can get an opteron 144 or 146... socket939
144 should be same cost as 3000+ and 146 as 3200+
If u can.... do not give a second thought and grab them...
144 compares to AMD Athlon 3200+
146 Compares to AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (May be 3400+ more correctly, if it existed)
Opteron 144 and 146?? I could find it on the net
I browsed SharkyExtreme..
Opteron 244 (1.8GHz - Retail)
$205
Opteron 246 (2.0GHz - Retail)
$239
Opteron 248 (2.2GHz - Retail)
$327
Opteron 250 (2.4GHz - Retail)
$465
Opteron 252 (2.6GHz - Retail)
$691
Opteron 254 (2.8GHz - Retail)
$870
And as far as the US prices for AMD Athlon 64 bit here it goes
Athlon 64 3000+ (1.8GHz/S939)
$135
Athlon 64 3200+ (2.0GHz/S939)
$152
Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2GHz/S939)
$201
So the prices are wayyyy too high.. the better option would be to go in for 3500+ and moreover Opteron processors are not available easily in the market too
But my budget has gone overboard.. Just got the quotation.. Excluding the Tv Tuner and Graphics card the total is coming upto 67300.. Add another 12k for grapics and tv tuner.. And the total is a good 80k
