I got my ram and psu ordered got mobo here. But cpu is something undecided was go go 165 opty with 2mb cache but it oly has a 9 multi with my mushkin ram most i can expect is like 270-275fsb x9 multi, how much well a dvider effect my speed. I was also thinknig of gonig with a 3800+ X2 b/c it has a better multi of 10. Both cost same so what would be better buy.

go with the opty

well the opti has the 2x1mb and the 3800 has 2x512mb cache so i would go with the opti my self

 

[Zero]

are the opterons that much better than a x2? (besides L2)

even if you have to run a divider on your memory, the great thing about AMD is that the divider has very LITTLE affect on performance. So go with the 165 and OC the heck out of it....if you need help, we are here.

I love that i can run my RAM @ 200 mHz and my PCMark04 Scores for mem drop only about 15 points...
