Opteron 175

[DennisHS]

Hey.. I'm currently investigating the Opteron market, and found this one:

AMD 64 Opteron 175 Dual Core 2.2 GHz, CCBWE 0536 XPMW.

My question is: Is it a good overclocker?

I know a guy that has one at 2750 right now, if that helps

A little.. I was hoping for somewhere in the 2.9 area

You would want a CABYE, then.

I said "I was hoping"..

I want to explore the dualcore posibilities before singlecore since it's for recording music.

That's a single core stepping. The 170 is dual core.

Oh, really? Didn't know .

Haha. Well there are some 170s that can hit 2.9. More likely 2.7 or 2.8 though.

Does the 2mb cache have any improvement to add than the 1mb dual core CPUs?
