In the spirit of the community it would be a good thing - others ay want to travel down that same route, if the proof is there to reach 300x12 under phase cooling with a Opteron 150, I think everyone here will want a piece of the action.

My FX55 - clocks higher than fatty's and dazboot's wk16 - beant it, beat it, beat it.....da da da da da.....da da da

HAHAHAHA good comeback with the song. Well your mach is probably stronger. I bet most 16s clock higher under the same cooling.

lol, just getting the opty. Dont really see the benefits for me, x800 vs 7800, im just playing games and doing work really.

I just got back from researching the 'overclocks' of the 150 - the conclusions are:

The magic steppings have all gone (so you are probs buying an A64 4000+ called an opteron 150).

The Magic ones overclocked really well - in fact one person got 3.6Ghz - The bloke that did that is a guy who is (quite frankly) a god in the overclocking world - and he also has the best cooling equipment money can buy.

I bet you £20 that you do not get an Opteron 150 that YOU can overclock with normal Prommie phase cooling (no ln2 or DI or Gollums Cascade) past 3.25Ghz (superpi 32m stable).....

IMHO - The opty 150 will be a disappointment (in the UK) as all the good ones have been sold elsewhere I am afraid.

Best go hunting for a second hand one! Atleast then you can get a guaranteed result

Thats true - I think people will charge a premium for it (specific steppings usually do).

Good luck either way.
