Honestly the opty have a better core IMHO as well as stated by many others...x2 are good O/Cs but the Opteron dual core...from my experience through a friend who has one you can get much better results with less voltages which mean less heat....read a couple more of the threads on this site as a lot of people are asking about which x2 to go with and not only myself but a couple others also say opterons.......search around for other forums to on overclocking and get a wide variety of responses and inputs on them...
