Talking Opty 146 @ 3g

Well an interesting night it was Id have to say.
There was plenty to drink and eat. Hell I even smoked something, my wireless router.
Well that just would not do I tell you. At 3 AM with no net access to 1/2 my shop there was little more
to do than OC. oh yea!!
So with determination and some encouragement I set out to conquer my new
AMD Opteron 146 2.0Ghz CPU.

After several hours of the boot, cuss, boot, cuss, boot routine it finally happened.
My 2.0 blossomed into the 3Ghz that it is now. Granted I had to back off of the 1T.
But I made it happen.

Between the cussing and booting I needed a break so I went shopping for a new wireless router. The Linksys WRT54GX2 was the lucky Best Buy contestant. It now has a home on my desk. The old Linksys router will be reassigned to restaurant duty, where I hope to add another folding rig to that location.


1 Opteron 146 $159
1 new wireless SRX router $99
1 new SRX USB network adapter $86


A new network and a 3G OPTY = PRICELESS


Many thanks go out to SpikeShot, Cpt Planet and $SOLID NECRO$ for bring this awsome find to our attention.
And kudos to SOLID for his encouragement and believing in my abilities.

Nice work, is that a monarch opty? I'm guessing from the price, since that's what I paid...

Now where is that big white truck???

His sig says SLI.... Does the SLI board perform any better or worse with the extra SLI onboard or does it stress the system more?

Congrats Pharaoh! Im sitting pretty at 2.8Ghz, which is where im leaving it. It posted at 3.0Ghz, and even got into Windows, but it fowled up and buggered some of the registry with it.

Had to repair XP then try again. Guess my mobo doesn't play ball with 300FSB.
