well, the x2 thing I wasn't  thinking it through and you are right, what I 
meant to say that so far as I know all S939-X2 are SSE3 capable and rev-E at 
least as all am2 are

so eventually, athlon64-E would be more appropriate (with proper man make.conf 
explanation)

opterons are not easy but it is already kind of advanced cpu so could be 
expected more knowledge from the user and that he 'eventually' 
read /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf ... or not (if there were something 
about sse3) but in any case opteron and additional opteron-E also would do 
it ...
