[-0MEGA-] said:Just to let you know, your motherboard doesnt natively support the Opteron series CPU's.
If you want that motherboard, you need to check and see if there is a BIOS available that supports Opterons.
memory needs to be DDR400 and DDR500 isnt supported so try

Is it oc'd to DDR500? Because it cant run it at DDR500 stock.LithiumSunset said:DFIs support up to DDR550 for socket 939 without BIOS updates usually. I'm running DDR500 right now @278Mhz with 3-3-3-7 timings.
i don't think it will lag... the x850xt series is very good... if you are willing to spend a bit more.... this would be a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy nice video card... but that would cut into your budget... it is about $100 more than the other one... but it is REALLY nice... IMO it is the only upgrade from the x850xt that is REALLY worth it...striker said:this Video Card: SAPPHIRE Radeon X850XT 256MB
isn't that kind of low for oblivion, or will it do just fine? I want no lag, even if it costs a little more.

LithiumSunset said:If your referring to his choice of the DFI SLI Expert board, yes, it does support Opterons right out of the box without a BIOS update.

DDR500 is designed to run at DDR500 for overclocking. It allows you to run your dividers at a 1:1 ratio once you take your FSB up.

the x850xt is what i had originally configured for you, and here is the one that is the beast feast that is $100 more:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102698striker said:If you can send me a link to it, then I would now more or less if I want it.
[-0MEGA-] said:Newegg and DFI's website both dont say anything about opterons. But i see that you have the same mobo and an opteron, so i dont know whats going on.
And encore4more, asking if the mobo supports DDR500 is relevent.
