Upgrading in the next week or two and just need a cpu to finish off the upgrade. Got a Asrock 939 board (keeping my AGP card a bit longer), 2x512 Geil's, Artic 64 cooler and now need the CPU. I mainly use the PC for encoding (about 95% of the time) so was wondering if the Dual Core 4400 or Opteron 175 was the better option. Know zilch about overclocking, but am willing to learn!! Advice please......

Thanks,

Damien
 
Cheers for the advice. Might plump for the 4400. Have never overclocked before, and was wondering if I overclocked a bit how much time would I be able to save encoding a 700mb file, for example? If it's only a minute or two, I might as well leave it at stock level.
