I looked at Opteron too, but that would be much more expensive. The CPU is more expensive but I would also need to but a much more expansive mainboard.
This system is more than powerful enough for my purposes, I used a PIII800 and it (more or less) worked fine ...

Because this was a nice mainboard for a nice price ... Usually the chipset doesn't matter that much (Depending on what you do with the system ...).
