This link may provide some answers. I'm picking up a new dual Opteron system before the week is out. Svdl and someone in the Lightwave forum has recommended these as fast, but it wasn't cheap. I've also heard alot of good things about the AMD X2 4800's, but they weren't available as a dual/dual core system yet. I'm expecting good stuff from it. It's my first non-intel system so I'm feeling a bit insecure...
