You can buy two of these for less than the slower dual cores.
yeah, progress
Fry's will sell you the 3500 + a motherboard for $129

Eh... Only really interested in dual core, what the heck are you going to do
with 2 S939 processors anyway?

Just thinking about what a great deal dual cores are.

You could buy three faster single core cpu's for about the same
price.

Are there fairly cheap dual or quad socket 939 boards so I could
plug two or three of these single core faster cpus into a board
for the same price? That's what I'm looking for at the moment.

You'd need the opteron for that I believe.

Apparently screwing the commercial customers on server motherboards
is more profitable than selling enthusiasts lots of cpu's.

Ditto raid5 stuff for whatever reason.

They seem terrified that anyone should have a cheap server.
