Hey guys, im presently buying the parts for my computer and theres something that i really dont understand. few days ago i decided to buy a Opteron 165 at my local store, wich is in canada. i went at their site to see it it was available or not and thats when i saw that this cpu did not exist. I mean that it was there but it didnt had the same name, well look by yourself, cause its hard to explain...

The 265 is a socket 940 part, has one more active HT link, and is rated for use in a dual processor, 4 core setup. That makes it a heavy hitter, in the small server market.
You want something like this from Anitec, in Vancouver.
If you dont live in B.C. they will ship, and you wont have to pay PST.

For one thing since he's in Canada that could be canadan dollars and opty 200 series are for designed for servers you obviously haven't priced highend Xeon processors lately.
