Opteron processor, speed n mb's

[windchimes]

hi,

1) I wud luv to know the speed of Opteron processors..recently on my Friends comp with n Opteron pro..it showed aspeed of 2.01Ghz (not a dualcore - i think itzmodel 146 ...then wat makes Opteron perform much better n faster ..???

2) Which r the best MB's for Opteron...n specify the affordable ones...like around 8k...

3) is there ny board for the processor supportin DDR2..?? heard there aren't..!!!

Plz help me with answers...wishing u all the very best..Byee.tc..

regards

Listen dude! U r getting into trouble. See, just ponder to what I say. Opteron is a server processor? Isnt't it. The difference between server cpu n desktop cpu is that the server one r optimized to sustain a lot of errors, they have in built error resistance that helps when a server is being flooded with page requests. It is also optimized for security like prevention of DoS attacks n all. Also, they have very special kinda mobo.s n RAMs, overall an unnecessary expense.
Since I believe you r building a new machine for gaming n stuff, opt for a core2duo processor. But as u haven't mentioned ur budget, u can ask me at dynamicronnie@yahoo.com
One more thing, the GHz are a measure of the clock speeds at which a processor runs. It is not synthetic benchmark of performanc. What's more, xtra Ghz means lot of heat dissipation. 2-2.5 Ghz is said to bereasonable. If i xmple, then see, when only single core cpu were there, Athlons performed below 2.5Ghz while Intel P4 Prescotts were clocked at 3-even4Ghz. Result: Athlons won battle after battle for three years from 2003-2005 while the p4 produced heat good enough to be named a mini nuclear reactor. Check in google if u wish.
If u r convinced on opteron, then visit *www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_869_8819^8821,00.html?1114069197 for u haven't again told me what's the processor u have. I dont wanna sound rude, but u need to tell everything B4 any1 can help ya. Sorry if u found that rude.
