BTW To avoid any hassle, make sure your BIOS is updated before you switch CPUs...
EDIT: Sorry, have been talking about X2s ... No, the Opteron is a regular S939 CPU, so that will give no problems... It might not be fully recognised (referring to "AMD Unknown CPU" or giving it another core name...), but they will perfectly work...
