Re: Weird thing is that the FX-74 (3 Ghz) is available. I don't know what the hold up is with 6000, since, other than the socket, is the same chip.

Socket-F has more pins, which may allow better power delivery characteristics, which enables higher speeds. Just a thought.

joe, Weird thing is that the FX-74 (3 Ghz) is available.

Think volumes. A few thousand chips at best are required. But the
volume for Opterons and A64 X2 is another matter.
