newegg just doubled their prices on the 939 opterons, right now the cheapest is also the highest performing (185 @ $335 vs. 180 @ $646 wtf) My guess is this is just a stock related issue, as in get it now... or its just the retard shift of price adjusters working today.... zipzoom fly has the 180 for $270.
But realistically, I think you're looking at grabbing a 4600+, which is around $219 on newegg. Maybe a FX57, for $289 or an Opetron 148 for $248
Someone is. When they only have a few of an item left, crank the price up and make as large a profit as they can without having to take up any warehouse space.
\Instead of dropping money into a dead-end-socket-CPU. A better idea might be to grab a better cooler(either air or water) and OC your 3800x2 higher. Then when u upgrade down the road, u can reuse the cooler that you choose on the new socket.
"YO_KID37" said:It's listed in order from best Chip to lowest quality to highest.
-AMD Athlon FX-60 Dual Core @ 2.6Ghz
-AMD Opteron 185 Dual Core @ 2.6Ghz (best Overclocker @ ~3.2ghz)

Yea wtf is with opty prices? Last night I think they were still priced about the same as they have been for about the past month or so. Now they have all jumped up big time. I mean come on a 170 opty for almost $300? That is nuts. Looks like my decision was made for me on my upgrade. Going AM2 it looks like since my budget will not allow core 2.
I hope he actually has a use for all these other ideas we're giving him... technically all he asked about was what processor is the best performing for 939, which was answered right away.
