I was wondering if someone could explain the fuctional differences between these two processors for the complete idiot. I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum MB with an Athlon 64 3000 and 1gb Corsair VS memory. I want to upgrade the processor to a dual core and add a gig of memory. I can't find any new X2 4800+ processors (btw the Opteron 180 and the X2 4800+ are the largest my MB will support) and the ones I do find are quite pricy. The Opteron 180 at Newegg is like $170 for retail. I know the Opteron is a server/workstation processor but I have a friend that saya that it would work good. What does the 4800+ do better than the Opteron 180 and vice versa. The specs at AMD don't tell me a lot because I don't know what all of the numbers mean. If someone could give me a little bit of an explaination on what the differences are I would appreciate it.
