The fans only start spinning at 100%...

    Is Opteron good for gaming?

    I was either going to get a opteron 165 which can easily be clocked to 2.4 or an 3800 x2 which can be clocked stable to 2.3 I was just wondering if opteron is good for gaming or whether it is just for a workstation. Also opteron would seem to be better because it has 2x1Mb cache
