Just looking for some input, price isn't really a consideration since I have both of them already. (unless I can sell the one I don't use)
My current feeling is the Opteron will be better for single threaded apps (I can only get the X2 up to 2.5GHz) and the X2 will be better for multi threaded apps, but all I do is surf and play games so I'm thinking the Opteron is the way to go.
Plus it's been a while since there's been a poll in here, polls are sweet!
edit: for reference the opteron is 1.8GHz 1MB cache, the X2 is dual 2.2GHz 1MB cache, the X2 goes to 2.5GHz, the Opteron has a better reputation for OCing though.
