Considering an Opteron?

Great article at techreport

They also compare Intel's new chips.

If your lazy just read the first page and skip to the OC section.

Makes me want a 165

Yeah I tell you what, it has certainly made an AMD believer outta me that's for sure. Very smooth, cool running, OC's nicely, installs easily, fired right up without a hitch (although I had a problem at startup with the board, my fault though)

This thing laughs at everything I have thrown at it so far. I put together an X2-3800 system a few weeks ago and I was really leaning towards that chip. I'm so glad I opted for the opty!

People, this is one very sweet processor. Articles and specs on paper just don't do any justice for this thing. You've got to experience it for yourself.
