They are brand new, and most don't know about them.

I've known about them since like June when i got my comp. It was just that at the time, i knew less about hardware and thought optys were only for workstations and servers (which they can be for) and as well, they were too expensive for my under 1000 dollar budget (I've exceeded the budget like 3 weeks ago when i bought a new mobo and new case).

You didn't know about the S939 opty's in June because they hadn't come out yet. The ones that were out previously were s940 and not known for their overclocking abilities. The s939 optys have only been out about a month and a half.

if opterons are so good, then how come no one has one?

They just came out for socket 939 a few weeks ago, and I do have one.
