OPTERON chip available, BUT where are the MOBO'z?!

[HawaiianGhost]

Surfin' www.newegg.com and found that the OPTERON 1.4GHz/1MBCache 64-bit chip running anywhere from $300 - 330 respectively. BUT, could not find the compatible mobo'z anywhere on the site even through an advance search:(
Does anyone have clue if there are any "Hammer" mobo'z out yet?

link to site:

LOL, clicked on someone'z "wish list" that contained one of these and an ASUS A7N8X mobo. Poor sap, I wish him the best of luck on installing that chip on that mobo, might actually have to use a "hammer" on that "Hammer" :rotfl:
Looking at the Opteron'z CPU pins vs A7N8X socket(A), I highly doubt that it's gonna be an easy fit, lol. If that guy actually spend the money ($2,000+) on that wish list he/she's gonna have a bad day.........:rotfl: :rotfl:

cool

dumb question
how's the BUS integrated into teh chip?

[Duzmor]

Nvidia has the Nforce 3 Pro Chip Ready for The AMD Opteron

So look for the Nvidia Chip On some Boards Comeing out !!

Don't know BaLa, I still have to read up on it either via some review (possibly [H]OCP if available) or AMD site. But I can't right at the moment. Doin' living room arrangement for furniture being delivered tomorrow from Belgium. Will try to update that Q for ya' if no one else beat's me to it :D

Thanks Duz, I figured the N3 would have something to do with it. That's another one I have to read up on. Been kinda in/out of the Hardware dept lately, busy with all kinds of other things...

I found this for you:

HG,
I am holding for the 64 bit PCI duallies to come to town...
I believe the AMD tech tour is June 19th, and here in Tampa. :) Philip and I are already registered and should get the juice then. I will let you know as it is only a month away...

Nice find cypher! :) Time for me to do some reading!

the mem controller is built into the CPU.

[YARDofSTUF]

i wanna see a quad operton mobo with an agp 8x port, 2 pcix ports, a 64bit port and 1 regular pci port.


oh and dual lans too!!!

[HawaiianGhost]

Hmmmmmmm....

NForce3:
RAID 0/1/0+1...?
SATA...?

Not bad, seems like an all in one shop stop thingy...wonder what the actual end results will be...?

Ken, lookin' foward to the update that you'll gather:p

YoS, what exactly would the advantages of "dual Lan" be?? Sounds like a stupid Question, but actually an "ignorant" one as I fail to see the purpose if I already have a network on a 4-port Switch/hub...enlighten me please....?

We are still waiting.

Dual nic card/LAN allows you to use your computer as a firewall and a router, server as an information hub to your other systems.

[burke's inner consciousness]crap, i need one of these... i should get one..[/burke's innerconsciousness]

burke, listen up :D

[Loonatic]

OMG, 599.99

[Faust]

$599?...... not really that surprising IMO. high-end Xeon boards can run that much easily.

may have to wait for a single CPU (like the nForce3) solution to come out to keep the Opteron accessible (to most, anyways).

Doesn't 802.11x negate all of that?

802.11x is a wireless standard, how does that negate the need for hardwired complex information routing and serving?

wireless


hardwired

What is the need for hardwired systems when you can go wireless. Show us some examples of how 802.11x CAN't be used in lieu of hardwired configurations. I don't know of any...that is why I asked.

edit: If speed is the issue than I agree. I'm just confused as how networks can be limited by 802.11x.:)

you just said it yourself :D

its pretty damn slow for network traffic.

Evan,

The box that sits on the desk of many a broadband user with multiple computers is a router (Note the ethernet input and output.... acting a like computer with two network cards). It takes the data from the cable or DSL modem and and redistributes it from its own address to a client computer, a switch serving many computers or even a wireless system. Computer servers (rack mounted or your standard box) that can access information and securely (as in firewall and clearances) deliver it to other machines do them same, only on a larger and more complex scale.

The wireless protocol you describe replaces the hard cabling from the server to the client(s), not routing.

shant,
david
