yeah, but if you're buying opteron dual core over x2 you probably want to overclock

Abit's site says nuthing, And as for going with a dfi board i allredy have the abit and dont want to go to something els, I have herd this board is a vary good OCer anyway.

Have a fue questions thow, First what is all this i keep reading about "stepping"? Could some one please exsplain a bit on it. Second Is there any benchmarks compairing the 165 to other cpus? I searched a bit but couldent find anything, maybe like a 165 vs x2 3800?

type "opteron 165 vs x2 3800" in yahoo and you will find all the results you'll need.

as for steppings, you could do the same but i'm not sure how much it'll help. from what i know (which could be wrong) cpu's with a good stepping OC better than others. i believe you can determine it by the model/chip #

Old-ish thread but whitch sereal nuber cpu has the best stepping? I guess it would be by the s/n.
