Note that when X2 and Opteron1xx is compared with same speed and L2 cache the performance is almost identical.*Eg. compare X2 4800 and Opteron 180.

If you are an overclocker, the low-end Opterons are phenomenal performers for the price. A friend has an Opteron 148 that goes up to 2.75GHz, so it seems an achievable goal.

Not really an overclocker. I guess I'll think about it a little down the road, when this isn't giving me what I need. But for the time being whitch will give me what I need? Right now I'm mostly a general user, but I would like to play newer games (Oblivion, FEAR, ect.) with ease and stability. Also right now I can actually get the Opteron for ~$25 lower the the 3800.
Here's what your looking for: seems the X2 has the edge.
