Does your brother?

This would be running your CPU or videocard faster than they are rated to. Opterons tend to be very good at this. If you aren't going to do that though, you might want to look into a regular Athlon X2 for a cheaper option.

Ok, unless you're feeling like this is something you'd want to try, then you might want to look into an X2 processor instead.

Those will still overclock too if you want to do that someday, just maybe not as well as the Opterons.

Don't worry about it, it's not really going to help you at all.

If you want to though, there's a "Buddies" thing you can click on the left side of the screen.

If you paste my name in there I will show up as a lighbulb. Yellow means I'm here and Blue means I'm gone.

Fair enough. There's nothing wrong with the Opteron you have selected, but I think this 4400+ might be a better option then.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they have the same cache and clockspeed so they should perform the same at stock speeds.

In general you might want to check tigerdirect and see if there's other canadian places to make sure you're getting good deals on these prices.
