i've never had the pleasure of coming across an AMD65... and 
unfortunately i haven't experienced an X2 although there are a few 
articles regarding performance and other info. anandtech.com is my 
favorite review site and they've tested the X2 in this article:

and here's the dual core opterons just for fun:
