BTW, here's some new Opty info from Dave Graham (www.flickerdown.com), who's a dealer:
"in light of all the information going around re: the Inq article, i made a few calls and got the real story.
1.) the s939 Opterons are NOT going away. Rather, the 1xx series opterons will be transitioned to Socket M2 and positioned as entry level 1P server/workstation procs. AMD will be positioning the X2's as upper-end consumer processors and the A64s will be mainstream. Didn't ask about Sempron since i don't care.
2.) the 2xx and 8xx series Opterons will be moving to Socket F in Q2.
3.) the Opteron 185 is coming Q2, 2006 around the time of the complete transition to M2. This will be an M2 part only.
4.) EOL processors will be the 140, 142 (i think the 140 is EOL'd already, but, whatever). 144 is coming soon with the 146 to follow. the Opteron 165 is NOT BEING discontinued though stock will remain tight INTO Q1, 2006. You will see some part discontinued in Q3/Q4 next year with the appropriate pricing moves happening along the way.
just to clarify."
You should check his prices....they're pretty good! I'm in line for a 165
