Socket 940 Motherboard - where to get them cheap?

[Phlash]

Hi guys,

I just bought an Opteron 150 CPU on the cheap, and am going to use it to build a server to host some old games like TFC/NS. However, it seems like mobos are going to be around $200... thats way out of my range. Anyone know of a cheap model that supports socket 940?

A 150 is a 939, as link posted above.

they made 2 of them the 939 is the the 90nm, while the 940 is an older 130nm chip

2.4ghz sledge hammer core


these were for servers and workstations half way through the 754 so u could get a higher memory bandwidth then they made them into 939 to distinguish the 2xx and 8xx on a different socket for marketing purposes
