Hi-- I'm putting together a system around an Opteron 165--didn't arrive yet, so I guess I won't know the flavor until I can see the number on it. I need a motherboard that will overclock nicely, but nothing fancy for video or storage. It's just regular home office stuff with occasional video...

The Asus support site ( http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us ) does not list the Opteron 144 as being compatible, but lists the Opteron 146 (Opetron 146 RevE Socket 939) as compatible. Lists the Opteron 146 separately (I assume that is the Socket 940) Does not...
