is stock opteron 165 better than x2 3800

[123Justin]

both processors stock, which one is better?

 

[dRgreen]

since your in the OC ing thread, opty165!

 

[PZEROFGH]

Stock would be the X2 3800+ higher clock speeds extra L2 cache doesnt help much. But for OC'ing the Opty165

 

[123Justin]

o icic, but do u think i can reach 2.0 with teh opty 165 with these specs

mobo : msi k8n neo 4-f
ram: 2x1024 corsair value ram

im just a little scared to get it cuz of my ram, its oc ability is very low since its value ram and i dont pay any more money cuz im kinda off my budget already

you could reach higher than 2.0ghz you prolly can get it to 2.6ghz

 

[123Justin]

wowww r u serious, thas crazy, i thought i gota have good ram to oc?

 

[Vybuni]

Run a divider.

 

[123Justin]

exactly how much will my ram speed be slowed down by, if i oced my 165 to maybe lets say... 2.4 gigz?

 

[Sh0r_ty]

well first thing is that u might get a dud so don't get ur hopes up 2 high

as for deviders just try and keep ur ram at 200mhz /400mhz ddr useing them and it won't make a differance to speed. the ram will be the same as stock. but u might as well see how far it will go before u use a devider

 

[PZEROFGH]

Well first of all you need to fix up your english its divider and using and difference

Then its easy to run a divider, i wrote a section in static_11's what to look for when buying a new computer thread located in the high performance section so you can read somethings about it
