Ok I have found these two Processors.They both have OC potential but what is the difference between them and which one would be the better buy?

Thank You

Thanks,also what is the difference between the WD Raptor and regular Sata 2.0 3gig/s.Is it still that the Raptor goes at 10,000RPM and has 16MB Cache?I can find an 200GB 16MB Cache Sata 2.0 7200RPM drive for less than a 80GB Raptor. Which one would be the better buy?

Thanks Again.

The raptor is a better buy as the seek time is around 4ms as has 10,000 rpm, where as all the other drives are around 7.5ms so quite a difference.

Alsoi would go for the 64 3700+ the opteron 146 is mainly for business use as made for servers.
