AMD part numbers...
 

What are the designators for the dual core Athlon 64s? What socket do they
use?

From www.PriceWatch.com

$1049 - Athlon 64 X2 4800
$820 - Athlon 64 X2 4600
$661 - Athlon 64 X2 4400
$540 - Athlon 64 X2 4200

They all use socket 939.

No problemo :-)

Greetings, all.

Those prize tags taken into consideration, plus the fact that the newest products develop faster,
if one was to invest in a single dual-core today would it be smart to go for dual Opterons instead?
(Or, indeed the new Athlon FX-57?)

It just strikes me that for a fractionally more expensive MB, you'd get roughly the same performance
and big savings on the proc's since the novelty of single-core can be expected to be rapidly fading.

Any cooling differences between 'dual' vs. 'single-core'???

You will have to decide whether the dual-core is worth the price based
on your own circumstances. No one else can decide what is best for you.

I think that is like comparing apples and oranges. A dual opteron is a
Numa machine, with lots of supported (but expensive) memory, an amazing
amount of computing power, but also higher licensing costs (many
software packages are licensed per socket).

The X2 on the other hand is a "drop in" replacement to get more power
out of existing motherboards. Since it is new, I would be slightly
sceptical about reliability, though...

I agree. The dual opteron probably offers more bang for buck now, and
but maybe the X2 will drop in price soon.

Good thinking, Thomas.

The reason for asking is I feel I painted myself into a corner with my current machine, as I was a fairly quick starter
and got myself a 754 pin socket. No debate - I absolutely love the thing, it has served me well, but I would have chosen
differently today. That's the eternal dilemma, I guess. So to tag along with something or other of the new stuff, I
cannot upgrade the board. One choice will turn out to be smarter - only which one? In the end it won't matter, I will
love whatever I decide to take home, but right now, ah-, the questions! The indecision! The torment!

A nice day to you, though.
