It runs 32 bit programs as fast, or faster. yep that's right. Fastest Opteron so far run at 1.8 Ghz. I doubt that 32Bit-Code on Opteron runs faster at 1.8 Ghz, than at 2.2 Ghz (Athlon 3000+). Perhaps until November there are faster Opterons available but I read, that AMD has still problems to break the 2 GHZ-barrier significantly. It is unlikely that in November there will be faster Opterons than 2.2 Ghz. Even if they ran significantly faster than Athlons, it will probably not double the power of two MP 2100+ @ 1.73 Ghz.
