Hi there,

I'm considering swapping out my Athlon 4000+ for a 4800x2 (socket 939) as a short term upgrade until I go back to Intel in a couple of months. I understand that the 4000+ is marginally faster that the 4800 x 2 in games but that the dual core chip is faster in multi-tasking. I often watch tv whilst browsing etc., and my Nebula TV card is a bit of a CPU hog.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?

Thanks for your attention.
 
Thanks for the replies. On balance, I don't think I'll bother with changing my CPU for now. I was thinking of spending a couple of hundred quid or so on a stopgap and probably uneconomical upgrade.

Wonder if I should swap out my BFG 7800 GT OC for a 7950 GT?
