Default Would a Opteron 144 CAB2E for $189.99 CAD be worth my time?

NCIX has a St. Patricks Day sale and that's one of the items.

Was going to get a 3700+, but that is a lot more appealing.

Would it be worth it?

That's about $165 USD, that's a pretty good deal. I say go for it.

The processor itself is worth the price easily, but that price is not low enough to put a time constraint on whether or not to buy it.

Can't order from Newegg.

They really need to get their Canadian shipping out soon.

Yep and the high HTT is a bit of a pain to work with
But if you can get it right the performance of a high HTT is great!

Wow, thanks a lot!

That's only $150 CAD which is still cheaper, let's see what the S&H is though.

With S&H it still only comes to $171, thanks a lot!
