I'm considering getting a 165 off of ebay...
how much of a performance increase will I see between my x2 OC'd to ~2.4GHz vs. the Opty OC'd at say 2.7-2.9GHz
it looks like the opty has 2 x 1mb L2 cache while the 3800+ has 1x 1mb cache... besides that they look pretty similar. I think i remember something back in the day that opty's are made w/ better material or are higher quality because they are intended of servers.
is there a stepping on the 165 that is more preferable for better OC'ing?
Thanks
