<pre wrap="">Hello Taiidan,
I have 2 questions:
-1) why is 6328 better for games? (compared to 6386SE?)</pre>
</blockquote>
Faster clock speeds rather than an extra 8 un-used cores, there are
very few games that can use more than 8 cores fewer still that would
cooperate with the 16 core opteron NUMA arrangement that divides
your RAM (the 16 core optys are two 8 core CPU's on a single die)<br>
<br>
You can also use isolcpus=2,3,4,5 to get Turbo 2 in case your games
only use 4 cores.<br>
<br>
6328 is equivilant to an FX-8310<br>

Yeah it is, there isn't any reason to buy a new CPU as they last 20
years versus the much shorter lifespan for motherboard components
such as capacitors.<br>

6328:<br>
There are a few for $100/ea right now<br>
<br>
6386SE:<br>
There were some working scratch and dent (how?!?!) for $170/ea a few
weeks ago, $120/ea a month ago for one that had missing capacitors
that made it only work in a single CPU configuration.<br>
<br>
As always don't be afraid to use best offer and if nothing suits you
just wait a week or so one will probably show up then.<br>
<br>
Btw if you don't have all the D8/D16 boards you want I would buy
them new while you still can, they are going to stop selling/making
them soon if they haven't already.<br>
<br>
<br>
As always feel free to ask any questions, and if you want something
off list just change the reply title to something else and add a
note.<br>
