939 cpu upgrade?

[mattyj1085]

I currently have a X2 3800+ thats been running stable at 2.8ghz for years.

Would it be worth getting something like an FX55, 60 or opteron 185? I saw an FX55 got for £13 on here recently.

Not looking to move to Core 2 duo as its not needed

I've got a old 939s hanging around somewhere think its a 4200+ or 4400+ X2 runs most things with ease, but cant sell it through here and I think the for sale section on OcUK forums has disappeared.

If you don't need ultra gaming machine then I think little upgrades are worth it compltly.

Would it be worth ugrading to 4400+ ? If the cache is the same and i run my 3800+ at 2.8ghz theres no point in upgrading to 4400+ if it can only do 2.8ghz or below

edit - ive heard people taking the tops (heatspreader?) off their cpus to get more mhz out. Is this a good idea?
