What's the difference between the AMD Athlon x2 5200+ and the Opteron 1218? I am looking into purchasing a 5200+, but I found a great deal on the Opteron 1218. It seems very similar to me (2.6 ghz, dual core). I am wondering if performance will be the same on both. I have been able to find out that the Opteron is a server CPU, but I am unsure what the performance difference is. I am building a primarily gaming computer, using socket AM2.
Thanks.
Thanks.
