Re: K8T Master2-FAR and Opteron 240
(Oops, forgot to copy the list...)
>> I have bought a K8T Master2-FAR motherboard and have ordered two
Opteron 240. The problem is that according to AMD the board supports
Opteron 240, according to MSI-homepage the board supports up to Opteron
248, but in the boards manual it says Opteron 244 and higher.

The main thing is make sure your RAM works with AMD. There's a link over
at their website (too busy to dig it up right now) that lists certified
RAM. I have Buffalo Technologies brand.
I did the same thing. However, I got two(!) defective motherboards in a
row, and switched to the Tyan Thunder K8W S2875, which works beautifully.
I believe I also have Buffalo Tech registered RAM.

software support is sufficient for my needs, I'll convert over to 64.
Ditto. I played with a couple different configurations of 32/64 and
pure64, but none of them really met my computing needs, and I kept running
into things like library conflicts.
