Building a new system soon. And im looking at getting the BIOSTAR TFORCE4 AM2 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 mobo (http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=TForce4%20AM2) and the AMD Opteron 1210 Santa Ana 1.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor (http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/opteron/details.aspx?opn=OSA1210CSBOX).

But on the mobo's website I cant find where it mentions opteron at all, yet they are the same socket.

So will they work together?

I think opteron is a server based CPU could be wrong take a look at the amd site ;)

sorry you have looked

Yes it is, but its the cheapest am2 dual core with 2x1mb l2 cache.
But is it compatible with that Mobo? They are the same socket and from what i read i think that they are, but wanna be sure.
