It has 1mb L2 cache so it is almost certain to be San Diego(I don't think it can be otherwise) although I don't know about the stepping question, I guess you pays your money and takes your chances

Cheers for the heads up, shame I don't have the cash to take advantage.

LOL, they are in the "clearence" section yet they have no stock?

How does that work then? :confused:

Maybe there were only a few of them and they are sold out already?

Or its just another way of selling their goods at prices they still make profits on?

A socket 940 board is a semi server board that is expensive, slow and can only use registered RAM which is slow and expensive.

Built an opteron 146 based Asus socket 940 system for a m8 a few weeks ago,nothing slow about it,benched just the same as mine at stock.The mem can be sourced new at 30 quid per 512mb stick,not exactly expensive.

Pop it on a Asus SK8V and some Corsair / OCZ 3200 reg rams and there we go

I had a SK8V from OcUK b-grade section. Great board. Good overclocking. Used it with my FX51 I had a year or so ago. Also had some OCZ 3500's. Decent fast setup tbh.
