2nd generation opteron

Hey all, I'm curious about the AMD opteron processors; I know they're meant to be for servers but do they work fine for home use? Would they run things no problem?

I've been upgrading my home PC since late 2006 (lol) and all that's left is to get a processor to go in my AM2 board. I was eyeing the opteron 1212 because...I don't know really, I like the name opteron? It makes me think of transformers

Anyway any advice/input/insight would be appriciated.

Would work fine, server chips are designed to work all the time under stress so they are awesome for app heavy work and games.

Hmm I like the sound of that, much thanks!
