just found this over at the anandtech computer forums. AMD TechTour is going all over the country, and there are two bundles available for purchase. you must pre-order, and you must attend, in order to get these bundles. one of them is a pretty good deal, and the other one is white hot.
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 939 pin CPU
Asus A8N-E Socket 939
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Price: $250
2 AMD Opteron 246 CPUs – (Tray)
Tyan Thunder K8SD Pro (S2882-D) - Ultra320 SCSI functionality
Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition
Price: $500
dual opteron 246s and a motherboard for $500. and (an expensive version of) windows too, if you use it, which i won't. i preordered my opteron bundle already, i'm already excited about it. the motherboard usually sells for $400+, and the opteron 246 is a $300+ chip for just one. the stuff is NFR (not for resale), but if you are in the need for some serious power, it's a deal that can't be beat.
