alright since u guys say Optys are better how about these 2

-Opteron

AMD Opteron 144 Venus 1GHz HT Socket 939
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103600

-Athlon

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz HT 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103535

OR

Athlon 3700+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103539
13 more bucks than the opty about 50 more than the 3200+/ Worth it?

Out of those choices there, I would still go with the opty even though, that particular one is not dual core which is fine if that's what you want. Optys generally OC better and run cooler.

yes, opterons use less voltag/watts so you have a higher oc window.
