[Pc_Support] Opteron board question ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... I am preparing to build an Opteron based compute server for use on 
my LAN. I am planning on using this board:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813186055

w/ most of the rest of the components coming from NewEgg as well. AMD 
doesn't list any 100-series socket 940 dual-core CPUs, so I am planning 
on using a single Opteron-265, 1.8 GHz Dual core, socket 940. There are 
reviews on NewEgg that say this CPU won't work on this Mbd, followed by 
later ones that say it will. Foxconn's website says -275 & -875 opterons 
are compatible, but says nothing about others. Does anyone have any 1st 
hand experience w/ this board, and more precisely knowlege of 
compatibility status, yea or nay, w/ this Mbd/CPU combination ? TIA ....

.... and to bring it on topic for Linux, yes it *will* be running a 
fairly recent Linux, either CentOS 4.1 or SuSE 10.0 :-) ....
