Opteron 939 vs. Athlon 64

M

msi or epox

I know it overclocks further with less voltage than the venices but aren't the opterons designed for servers, therefore not as well suited for gaming? I realize a lot of this is hype right now, but I have to ask the question.

Torn between the 3200+ and an opteron 146

thanks for the input


some links that don't address the question Text

They're almost the exact same chip, so they are equally good for gaming (well, the Opteron has a bigger cache so is probably slightly faster), but basically an Opteron core is the same as the core used in a 3700+ or 4000+ or an FX (1MB cache chips), so it will be just as suited to gaming as the FX chips.
 
doesn't the 146 have a 9x multiplier? go with the 3200 with the 10x multiplier of you don't have the greatest overclocking motherboard.
 
i think 144 is 9x and 146 is 10x. that would make sence if it was the same frequency as the 3200+, which it is.
 
i believe hyper's right,but im going epox ep-9npa w/ 6800 gt or gs.
some guy said the opty's didnt like tccd as much as bh-5 but no real evidence

do u guys think my board will limit oc? - i refuse 2 go with DFI since im not oc'ing over 2.8 for sure
