Hi,
Really struggling to make my mind up over this one.
I'm interested in moving to dual-core from a 3700 running at 2.8ghz.
My main use is games and music production (cubase / nuendo + vst plug-ins).
The 4600x2's are at a nice price at the moment, but I wonder how much extra performance an E4300 would give & whether it would be worth the additional £300 on top of CPU costs for the mobo and 2gb of ram.
I have the cash, but if the performance wouldn't be like at least 30% difference I'd probably put the money into an additional 32" LCD TV for the spare room.
I would overclock either of these CPU's as far as possible on stock volts.
Cheers y'all.
