Socket 940 is for Opterons only, and the new Opterons, which are dual-core, have just been advanced to the second quarter of this year.
Good, you're not defending the waste of money
"It's not a bad processor, but it's not worth the money you'd have to pay for it" See that LK, SEE THAT! The new nForce4 boards for Intel's have just been released, have a look at the short article on
http://www.custompc.co.uk about them.
"The EE is a waste of money...and at the same time it doesn't compete well against the cheaper FX series" LK, you're going down
The new Venice's are amazingly overclockable, with the 3800+ getting to 3.0GHz on air. THAT'S 3.0GHz PEOPLE - ARE YOU HEARING ME!!! How great is that
The Venice's are really going to start challenging the Intel's, which is what they really need to do. And I expect a trend to start in pre-overclocked computer's using the Venice core. Say you bought an 3800+, people will start expecting them to be at least 0.2GHz faster, even more if you're paying over aroudn £1200. That is when the Venice's will come into their own.
