Ok I was reading this article and they were OC'ing the opteron 180 and 165.
They stated Believe it or not, our Opteron 180 was practically allergic to overclocking. There's typically less headroom in a high-frequency part, but in light of our Opteron 165's sheer willingness, I didn't expect to see the Opteron 180 throwing errors in Prime95 at 2.58GHz and 1.375V. More voltage, again, wasn't the answer. I eventually decided not to bother finding the limits on the 180 because it was so much less interesting than the 165. So, here's how the Opteron 165 performs at 2.65GHz...

They used 2GB of DDR 400 ram in the test setups...
So Im thinkin Is my Opty 175 going to be a bad OC'er becuase it has no headroom? like it said,The 180 was almost allergic to it...
Im thinking is lower Opteron better?
some one please explain
