Manufacturer's product description

IBM was the first tier one vendor to introduce AMD Opteron processors in workstations, and IBM continues to lead the industry today with the second-generation A Pro.

Review of HP ProLiant ML115 - Dual-Core Opteron 1210 1.8 GHz by mascall84

Advantages: Value for Money, Upgradeability, Customer Service.
Disadvantages: No Major Disadvantages

...This server is starting the trend of affordable home and small office servers. For just over £100 you can now get this fully functional server without an operating system. This smart looking tower contains a good specification of components for the price, including an AMD Dual-Core Opteron 1210 1.8Ghz Processor with 2MB Cache that is capable of multitasking. 1GB Ram as standard upgradeable to a full 8GB (Please note that 32 Bit operating systems only support upto 3.5GB RAM). The Option of SATA or IDE storage devices. This includes 1x 160GB SATA Hard Drive. A CD-RW - DVD-ROM Combo (DVD-RW not included). This also has good networking capabilities with 1x Gigabit Ethernet port. This also has on board graphics with the option to upgrade via your PCI express slot.

Good CPU but at a price
Review of AMD Athlon 64 FX 62 / 2.8 GHz processor by Conteo

Advantages: Fast, Very Fast
Disadvantages: Not worth the £££s

...I bought this thinking it was the dogs, well it is, but wish I had bought a x2 dual core CPU for the same price, as this will be more helpful with Vista and other applications. I can't fault this CPU in any of the tasks that I need it for though, it breezes through Quake 4 and Prey with easy, in no way does it bottle my 7900GTX GFX. I think I will only feel the affect of not having dual core when it comes to running Vista in the near future. I would recommend this chip, but I would also like to say that if you bought the Athlon Opteron 64 and overclocked it, it would be the same speed as this CPU. Not worth the money in my opinion....
