AMD opteron 165 vs P-D 920

[Nvidia2000]

Not trying to start a amd vs intel thread.. but for best bang for bucks.. what u guys about opteron 165 vs pen-d 920? Opteron 165 can hit 2.5-2.6ish on air. However, the new dual core 900seires can overclock quit a bit too. Couple guy on ocforum got 920 to 3.7~4+ on stock volts.. What u guys think?

Well either of them will be a lot better than your 2.3ghz northwood. I have my X2 @2.618ghz and it was fater than my pentium-D 830 at everything, even at stock speeds, and my 830 wouldn't OC at all. As for the 920, well if zipzoomfly would hurry up, I'll be able to tell you my own results in a few days. From what I've seen, it will need to get to around 4.4-4.5ghz before it will catch up to my X2 @2.618ghz.
