What's up with all the Opterons?

[reggie_da_man]

The question is self explanitory. I just want to know why everyone wants an Opteron suddenly.

 

[Static_11]

because their the same price if not cheaper than San Diego's and overclock sooo easy and VERY high

 

[reggie_da_man]

What can you do with an Opteron?

 

[PZEROFGH]

everything that a san diego can do rofl. and it can do 3GHZ

 

[Static_11]

They are mostly used in servers, but not made exclusivly for them.

main reason = EXCELLENT OVERCLOCKERS

 

[reggie_da_man]

So an Opteron is good for gaming?

 

[Static_11]

heck yes!!

San diego's are great for gaming and Oppy's are almost the same but for some reason cheaper ( i think ) and overclock soo much higher.

 

[reggie_da_man]

Wow, what Opteron would preforme close to a 3700 or a 4000?

 

[Static_11]

you can overclock those puppies to 3GHz or higher... i dont know how high the stock and overclocks are for the 3700 or 4000.

Just to refresh, if you were to want to upgrade to an Opteron, you'd need a new motherboard and that's it, right? Everything else should be interchangably compatible, right? *shrugs* Even the video card?
