Opteron will give you outstanding performance as it is able to work under high heat temperatures
i think a server based processor is more power and ready for heavy load and exhaustive use of them... i am an advanced networker administrator and a Windows Server user and i don´t play games ;) regards and good comparison! thanks!
more cache and stable
it is better than the phenoms now ...
The Opteron processes the northbridge on native Server motherboard allowing a direct link for data to pass, Reduced Northbridge Bottleneck/Latnecy.
An Opteron to a traditional AM2+ board unlocks features missing like (overclocking + the processes of the northbridge which on some PC equate to well over 1 Ghz and 1Mb of unspoken cache.)
Have been overclocked to 11Ghz.
They run at lower idle temps than phenoms, Must I explain heat and longevity.
$Price is alright, Got mine in the uglyst case in a resale store they were STUPID wrong to sell it all lower than a 3800+ build...
(Dont be fooled The gaming instruction sets are all there to 4A)
STABLE, Designed for High uptime.
The opteron is native to a raid enviorment, A RAID enviorment should be native to all quad* cores. also I ACTUALLY SUGGEST 3 OR MORE DRIVES. My opteron opened up allot in raid.
Put a GT440 or GT450 on it. It plays all games 2011. O wait xbox 7 years old so this processor is still world mint.
My goal is to rebuild a desktop I built about 8yrs ago. The operton offers the type of durability and plain guts that I desire to incorporate in my PC.
I like that it will take higher heat and not burn up
Large cache, bulletproof
