Has ocuk any plans to stock the AMD 3600 x2 as it would be a great chip for a HTPC I've seen them for as little £60 including vat for the retail boxed.
 
I don't think it was going to be released in this country. I remember some talk about it before christmas and in my head I've got it linked to the far east market, but I can't even remember if it's lower clocked or has even less cache than the X2 3800+.

I have a 65w AM2 3800 in a HTPC using the Antec fusion case.

I'm using the standard HSF with no heatpipes for now as the HSF i bought wouldn't fit in the case :confused:

Anyhow, it runs fantastically cool, with Asus fan speed control the fan is almost silent and even running dual orthos temps are around 40C......

I don't see much reason to get the 3600+ when the 3800+ is so cheap (excluding the 35w version)

Yeah the X2 3800+ is only £64 on AM2 now. Doubt the X2 3600 would be any cheaper.

There are two versions of the X2 3600, both are AM2.

Windsor Core, 90nm, 2.0GHz, 2x256kb L2
Brisbane Core, 65nm, 1.9GHz, 2x512kb L2

The Brisbane 3600+'s look good to hit the high 2Ghz to low 3Ghz range. One of those for £55 with a Biostar Tforce 550 for the same amount and 2gigs of DDR2 6400 for about £120 and you have a performance bargain. I might be interested...
