Opteron's are usually better OC'ers but then again there are exceptions to every rule

Oh yea.I know U get a good-un and 4 bad ones when it comes to OCing.I was due for a good one when I bought my X-treme CPU for the Quad SLi rig.....and got it.I have had it too 3.6GHz with no sighns of instability.But the FX-55 I have in the SLi rig will not OC above 2.83 GHz.I think I'm gonna go with an Opty.
