what is an advantage would the opteron offer me over the regular 939 athlon if 
both have same FSB and cache, considering the price difference.

For instance:
Lowest price for opteron 175 is: $496.25
while for X2 4400+ is $459.50
where both have 2.2GHz with 2MB cache and 1000MHz FSB.

Actually I am considering a dual socket with two single core processors. I 
guess this will reduce my choices to only 2xx opteron series, right?
