opteron 144 or 148

[shd17]

Been deciding whether to get 144 or 148....should i get the 144 and save about $60 over the 148? I'm thinking it would oc about the same as the 148. Which one would be easier to oc to 2.6-2.8Ghz for a beginner like me? I'm trying to get the best for buck.

144 = 9x
146 = 10x
148 = 11x

Realize that if you get a 144, you will need to run HTT = 311 to reach 2.8 GHz (311x9 = 2800). Some mb's have issues at high HTT.

146 is probably the best one to get, however they are difficult to find these days.....

I just cranked my voltage to 1.39 I am running at 2914MHz with my opteron 148, idling at 33-34C. 265X11

I'll be cranking up my 146 soon to see where max is. It was just a blink of an eye to get 2800 MHz @ 1.36v. Amazing performer for $174..............http://members.cox.net/mucker/GSkill/GSkill3Opt.jpg

Best single core processor I have owned and I bought another Opteron 148 and I got the same stepping. I don't like to overvolt my processors, in the case here I don't have to to get the OC I want.

I was goin to get the 146 but supply ran out pretty quickly and I can't find them anywhere anymore at a good price.
