Athlon FX is to Opteron as Athlon XP is to Athlon MP.

Athlon FX & Opteron have 1MB L2, vs 256(I think) KB on Athlon 64.

In terms of raw performance, single chip is Athlon FX, but in a dual system with
a "deep" program Opteron would win out.

Keep in mind you still can't buy Windows for AMD64 yet.
