[zfs-discuss] somewhat OT: inexpensive 64-bit CPUs for ZFS
A couple of weeks ago, there was a discussion on the best system for ZFS
and I mentioned that AMD would reduce pricing and withdraw some of the
939-pin (non AM2) processors from the marketplace.
Update: I see a dual-core AMD X2 4400+ (1Mb cache per core) processor on
www.monarchcomputers.com for ~ $255. And there''s the X2 4600+, with
512kb
cache per core for around the same price.

They won''t last long....
