The 38% premium for ~10% more speed isn't worth it. If you aren't opposed to
overclocking, I'd give a very strong look at the Opteron 165. Same dual 1MB
cache cores, but much more favorable binning....I think most people are
hitting 2.6 or higher (on air) with the s939 Opteron 165.
If I could do it over, I'd get a 165 instead of my 4400+ X2 (which only hit
2.45GHz)

yep, I agree ;)
I may reconsider the X2 4800 @ $627 and go with the X2 4400 @ $454. Both
have 2 x 1MB cache, and it's 2.2GHz vs 2.4GHz. Anyone have a link
comparing
performance of these? Will I regret not spending 38% more money only to
get
10% more power?
