I'm rounding off my gaming rig and I'm looking to get a new processor. I'm fairly adept at overclocking so the idea of an Opteron 165/170 sounds pretty tempting.
Currently I'm using a 3200+ @ 2.7ghz
Would it be worth it to go with the dual core, I've read it doesn't improve gaming that much at the moment. Also, what are the success rates of even equalling 2.7ghz with a dual core opteron? If so, what cooling should I go for? This might also give me an excuse to go for water cooling as well.
