Which Processor
AMD 64 x 2 4800
or
AMD Opertron 2.0 GHz (170)
Now all I really know is that the Operton is more of a server processor when in comparison to the 64, so would this be more of an advantage???
Do you guys have any opinions on the above and what would you go with??
I wont be using the PC for gaming, just Maya, PS, After efects etc.
Cheers for any info that you might have

I would love a boxx (In fact I was thinking of the Boxx 1400 series, but found that its exactly the same as the AJP 900 64 series but quite a few pounds more expensive) but alas there out of my price range.

Its really hard for AMD to beat Intel when Intel actually tries... I mean, Intel makes most x86 assemblers... kinda unfair.

I am a Senior Support Analyst by day and AMD make poor quality processors. There biggest calling is their price. Its Intel all the way for me.
Xeon or the new Dual Cores are the best for workstations. Intel processors will stand up to a good old beating and last, they also have an internal thermal controller that stops the chip form overheating.
The AMD v Intel Video that floats about the web shows it (the one where they remove the heat sink from the processors), Toms Hardware did it as far as I could recall. The AMD popped its core with milliseconds, but the Intel lasted a good 15 - 20 seconds longer.
Says it all for me. My tip avoid AMD and pay the extra for an Intel, you won't regret it.
