Now I'm not a computer geek so I'm not sure what the 2000 MHz HyperTransport 1.0 is. I thought it might be the bus speed but they both have the same Phenom-9550 processor and the same motherboard so it can't be the bus speed. Any geeks out there who can enlighten us on this difference?
The roadmap lists two clock frequency ranges: 2.2-2.4GHz and 2.4-2.6GHz. The top band is taken by a Socket 1207+ part sitting on a HyperTransport 3 bus clocked at 3600MHz. The lower speed range extends two processors, both with 3200MHz HT3 buses, but one that connects using Socket 1207+ and the other with AM2+.

It seems to me that the Fry's version is not available for sale. I actually really want to buy more from AMD(all of the PCs I bought in last 5 years had AMD processors) but the application I want to run would require more horsepower than this..(need 3 database virtual machines running in paralell) I will wait until Windows 7 is available or available for free upgrades.. Hopefully AMD will have something comparable to the Intel i7 by then.. If you want a powerful PC for general use and gaming, this should be sufficient..
By the way, i7 has a new architecture that's similar to Hypertransport.. The HP i7 model can load up to 24GB of ram. (12GB for more "affordable" modules)

The Dell's 435MT can do the same. I'm running ESXI with mostly Cisco Voice application. The VM's are flying.
