Just to be sure: Are you looking for a Dual-Socket-940 system, equipped 
with two Dual-Core Opteron CPUs (totalling in four CPU cores)? Or is it 
a Single-Socket-939 System, equipped with one Dual-Core Athlon64 X2 CPU, 
what you are looking for?

In the latter case, it will be difficult (if not impossible) to acquire 
appropriate memory modules to reach 8 GB of RAM. Single-Socket-939 
Mainboards usually have four DIMM sockets, requiring unregistered 
memory. So far, I didn't hear about available unregistered (DDR-SDRAM-) 
DIMM modules greater than 1 GB.
