Can you elaborate on "feels faster" please? Right now I am trying to get my X2 to 2700 but my stupid mobo is being retarded and doing stuff like making both cores fail at the same time.. I mean come on that is definetly mobo problem and not chip.

It would be great to sell this for $300 and get a faster chip for $200 but I still think this would be faster ..
Aha... well, by faster, I mean Windows, it is moving smoother and applications start right away.

However, the X2 smokes this chip with video conversion of 3d render.

Thats all, no doubt, for general apps the Opteron at 3ghz is faster, but for dual apps the X2 wins.

It's simple really, the single core has 300mhz over what my X2 runs at.
