Opteron 175 or X2 4400+

Which of these would be the better buy?

I have a watercooled setup. DFI LP UT SLI-DR mobo with this OCZ ram.

The ram overclocks to 211 fsb on a 1:1 with 2-3-2-5 timings and about 230 with 2.5-3-3-7.
Can the ram be run in async with a Opteron?

Anyways any input on the two cpu's would be great.

I guess it would depend on if your going to OC or not. The opterons OC better

I would go with a 165 or 170, make up for what it lacks in clockspeed with an OC (say to 2.7-2.9Ghz), and spend the rest of the money on something else.

You're basically talking about the same exact CPU.
the Opteron MAY overclock better.
And yes on the opteron you can run a divider.
