well im now moving from an opteron 148 to my first dual core opteron 170 
it arrived from the USA this morning, (was starting to panic as it wasn't insured :/)
total cost was £109.88p including postage which was painfully good value but then im lucky as i have a friend in the USA who bought it for me and posted it to me.
unfortunately i cant stick it in yet as much as i want to as im waiting on a new motherboard... i have an Asrock 939 Dual SATA and have just snapped up a DFi Lanparty Ultra-D for £35, should also give me a chance to clean out the water cooling as i swear some things living inside my pipes... i occasionally hear it speaking
my aim is for a 3Ghz clock on each core, possibly 3.1Ghz for benching, we will see how it goes. Stepping is CCBBE 0610DPMW, there are a few mentions out there on the net of people hitting 3Ghz but i cant find anything concrete so hopefully the steppings fine.
will revive this thread once its plumbed in and benched.
p.s. if someone could tell me the minimum and maximum operating Voltages and also the acceptable temperatures for this CPU, i would be very greatful
