What's so expensive about the X2?

X2 3800 $320

You linked the 165 from zipzoomfly, so it's okay for newegg to come up

I dont see why people would buy the Opteron 165 if they can get the X2 3800 for a cheaper price...

edited: except for the 1mb L2 cache on the 165 opty.. but it has been proven that the cache doesnt improve much performance... proven by the comparison of X2 4200 and 4400...

so people if opty 165 and x2 3800 are priced the same, which one would you choose.. one is based on toledo and the other on manchester... one has 1mb cache @ 1.8ghz while the other 512kb cache @ 2.0 ghz..

both are great overclockers, though the x2 does a lil better at the end achieving up to 2.8ghz.. but that's very subjective anyway and depends much on your chip...

but which one would you choose? please state the reason
