i would say go for 146 if can afford, more flexibility while playin w/ ram.

rite now 144s are doing as well as 146s.
if u ask me, i wud go for a 144.
reason to that is :-
1. its cheaper.
2. probally will hit the same clock speeds as a 146 [those new batches are a killer XD]

these are just my 2 cents worth

Yeah.... i agree. 144 seems can compete with 146 rite now. some even surpass it. . oc will only limited to mobo being used rite now.

opty 146 will give u some extra bandwidth with multiplier x10 compare to opty 144(x9). But overall i think new batch opty 144 is more worth . Price/performance.

Don't lie.The version of cpu-z you are using will only show 1.375 if you set more than 1.4v in bios,1.425 perhaps?Bingo!

I'm also using SLI-D with CAB1E 0614.

i got offer for opteron 150..how its performance? OC capability? dual core rite?

nope. its aint dual-core. it single wif 12 multi if im not mistaken.

btw, i need help wig my setup here. this is the current setting for my RAMs. spec rig at my siggy. im stuck at 290x10. even raise the voltage oso no goes. any opinion??

temp? some opty don't respond well w/ raise of voltage...

walao wehh.. i dont think voltage not enuff. even at 1.55v oso kenot pass 295x10
how bout my RAMs setup? any comment?

Got mine to hit 3.2ghz prime stable.

Will have to tweak for optimal ram settings later.

Huh? Why would I lie about it? It was set at 1.4v in bios. There is no point in lying about an overclock. It's either your chip can do it or it can't. Sheesh.

Besides, if u think CPU-Z is misreporting it, let me know which voltage reader you are comfortable with and I will be happy to stuff the prime stable screen up your a*se to show you.

is this wif 1.55v or 1.4??

think its 1.55v since prime is running when he take the screenshot...

bro, wat i mean is if addin voltage wun do gud, it's time to reduce d temp if u were to clock ya chip higher. 4give me for my poor english...

hmmm.... i assume u put ram setting to auto, looks familiar to me especially d trc & trfc. hynix chippy?

i think this is very subjective issue, it's more psu dependent. in my case, if i set 1.4v in bios, cpu-z will show 1.375v sharp. dun make any assusmption just base on ya own judgement coz wat work for u not alwez applicable for others...

ic. well, when running pi calculation 32mb@ 1.52v temp around 56c, consider high ady arr??

all the RAMs setting i put default onli minor changes at RAMs timming, DRAM Drive & Strenght. im on 2gb uccc kit.

56'C is abit high for me, try to keep it under 50'C, ask sarge arj... i think he manage to clock his dually opty high w/ better temp...

can't help bout d ram thingy but DRAM Drive & Strength are better to have 'em manually set.

1.4v was for 3ghz. 1.45v for 3.12ghz. 1.595v (1.45*110%) for 3.2ghz.

Judging from the amt of vcore needed for 3.2ghz, the chip should be hitting its limit soon which my current cooling setup.

i hope u are satisfied with this stepping.

i think its not the limit.. who knows it might ur RAMs kenot go ady
but if i were u, 3.12@ 1.45v daily useage would be happy enuff

wow...>3GHz chip...
hope that Din will bring in better chip this 13th June...
