Ok, s basiclly if I want my opteron to perform exactly like a fx57 I need to up the speed to 2.8ghz? Yes

Yea pretty much. It should actually perform a little better as your memory will be overclocked too. Start overclocking that beast and let us know what your results are with that stepping.

Yea, more than likely. I've seen alot of opty's getting FX57 Performance, go for it man.
