The Opteron is 64-bit, but it is marketed towards servers and Opteron motherboards do not have AGP slots, eliminating their ability to use high-end graphics cards. The Athlon64 is being marketed towards gamers and high-end consumers.
Actually Opteron has Workstation support with AGP. Didn't you ever hear of nForce 3?

Actually no I haven't heard a whole lot about the Opteron other than what little I've dug up in various places. I read somewhere that there was no AGP with the Opteron motherboards, but things change.
Yeah, now they have single workstation CPU versions, and no one can find for the life of them a reason to have an almost identical CPU to an Athlon 64, serving the same purpose, no SMP.
