Especially the second deal, it's probably a $500 dollar saving because of the Windows Server 2003 license is not cheap. 2 opteron 246s cost least 400, the tyan board is also 400.

Athlon

* — AMD Athlon™ 64 3200+ 939 pin processor

Server Bundle - Price = $500
Athlon

* — 2 - AMD Opteron™ 246 CPUs
* — Tyan Thunder K8SD Pro (S2882-D) motherboard
* — Microsoft Server 2003 x64 Edition

Hrm - that server bundle is not THAT cheap ... a system would still end up costing over 1500

But it seems you have to take the full tour to actually buy it.. ''Attend the AMD/Microsoft Tech Tour 2005 and take advantage of these exciting offers''

I wonder why they can do this, for so little money..

And on top of that you also get a dinner

I'll go, wouldn't mind having a new dual opteron around the house.

Well I'm going - but i wish they gave us the case and HD and RAM too

I'm one to admit when I'm wrong.

I contacted a representative from AMD and they said that this is indeed legitamate. I'll be looking into this a little deeper.
