Why go to the hassle,

for 400mhz? :confused:

Hassle & yet he is asking someone to strip & replace his whole rig for a C2D that is clocked lower.

Plus saying over clock the C2D but while ignoring the fact that the person would likely over clock the FX60 as well.

Clocked lower yes but faster ;)

Its not all about clock speed.

Even if he overclocks the FX60 its still gonna be far slower than a 6300

He would be better selling his 4400 true but you might aswell sell the mobo and ram along with it.

You will be suprised just how little you can upgrade to conroe and have a PC staggeringly faster.

Scoobie Dave did just that.

Sold his opty 165 mobo and ram and upgarded to

6300
DS3
And 2gb geil 6400

The upgrade cost him 40 quid....he's never looked back :p

Optys wont do 3.8ghz

My 6600 running at stock beat my opty 170 running at 2.8ghz (800mhz overclock)

so a stock running 2.4ghz 6600 was indeed faster than a heavily overclocked opty 170 running at FX 62 speeds.

And that is what you should have said in the first place.
Using a cpu as an example which has 1Ghz overclock to dispel one that is lower clocked is in fact pointless.

I have seen enough benches to know that a 6300 at stock is not faster than an fx60 at stock.

I was merely pointing out that however good the FX 60 sounds (and I will be amazed if you can get one for 200 quid in this country) if you have a clocked x2 for example running at 2.6ghz + the upgrade is pointless.

If you can go through the hassle of selling the chip you might aswell sell the mobo and ram too.

TBH Half the time I dont think people with clocked X2's know exactly how fast conroe is.


Its in a different league both in Gaming and multimedia encoding etc...

I'm not comparing a stock 6300 against an overclocked FX 60.

ALL 6300's will do 3ghz with ease making a overclocked FX 60 even running at 3ghz slow by comparison.

Considering that most 6300's can do 3.2ghz-3.4ghz the gap widens further.
 
nice little fight here anyhow
im an amd fanboy and yes a 6300 outperform a fx60 once overclocked
if no overclocking then a 6300 will lose to a fx60
i would say change to the the intel platform as atm they have the upperhand plus you know u have an upgradepath as intel allready have the quad out

What a sensible post :)

I have the Quad extreme 6700 and I must say its mindblowing in processing power in certain areas. :D

That is a worth while statement at last.
 
I don't see how this scooby guy only spent 40 pounds. If I sold my opty, expert and geil I would get about 300. Those three parts come to 408. Thats a change of over 100 quid :(

Still bloody good though :D

Just noticed the smilies have gone :(

Yes because an overclocked 6300 would destroy and FX 60 not match it. ;)

But your reply was to a question that a 6300 at STOCK would not beat an fx60 at stock but you said tosh implying that it would.

I have made it quite clear enough by now.

No it wasn't,

I suggest you read this thread again.

I said TOSH to: "when an E6300 will only "match" an FX60 when its clocked"

That statement is BS,Hence my responce

I have made it quite clear enough by now :D

And that exactly what im on about.

It will take a 6300 to be overclocked to match a fx60, no one ever said that it could not pass it.
