I am planning on a new system and between the

AMD 4000+ and this

which performs better?

for gaming,video editing, etc.

Im not dead positive on the numbers of benchmarks, but of the two i would go with the 4000+ for 2 reasons...it has the exact same specs only socket 939 vs a socket 940...939 boards are more popular and cheaper...and i know for a fact the 4000+ overclocks like a mother so im sure you could have some fun with it. Another thing to look at is the number of reviews the opteron has no reviews and is $130 more expensive while the 4000+ has more reviews...in all honesty, i believe the main difference is that the opteron is made for servers while the 4000+ is a gaming chip...opteron probably handles really long periods of workloads better but for the money save it for a better graphics card and get the 4000!

Actually, you might that the Opteron is the overclocking king.

Best to look up overclocking websites (such as OCAU here in Australia) for more information on this.

Otherwise, considered dual core lately?
