    Opteron 165/170 question

    Hey guys, I've been looking to upgrade from my 3000+ Winnie @ 2.5, and I know I want to move to dualies. So, here's me dumb-ass questions. 1) What exactly is the difference between a Opteron and an X2? Is there any difference in core architecture, cache, die, whatnot? 2)I'm a...
