Athlon X2 4200+ -or- Opteron 170?

[Captante]

I'll be ordering one or the other later on tonight so it can ship overnight & arrive on Monday. Both are in stock for the exact same price @ Zipzoomfly and I've read conflicting opinions about which is better. I am planning on some overclocking & $400 +/- a few bucks is my maximum budget... help me make up my mind!!!

UPDATE: 170 Ordered ... Thanks everybody!

If same price, Opteron 170.

Definitely the 170 if you're overclocking.
