I bought a MSI MASTER2-FAR for 193 Euro in January and this looks like a
reasonable price.
Interesting is that at CeBIT virtually no company did show motherboards
for Opteron systems and even AMD did not show Opteron info material in the
public part of the fair.
Given the fact that even a single Opteron machine is something rare, it seems
that the prices are OK. Of course it may take you a while to find the right
board for your needs......
