Uh, you've got this confused. the 3200+ is not an Opteron, it is, indeed, an
Athlon XP (some have predicted the last XP) with 400MHz bus speed.

The Opteron is a different class of processor that doesn't use the PR ratings
(ie 1800+, 3200+, etc...). The model numbers for Opterons are 242, 244, and so
on...

Opterons are, by nature, SMP capable with some configurations having 64 of these
chips! :)
