AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600 :-)

Hello

I was about to buy AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600 but im not to sure about running a 8800 gts 320MB with it?
My current system is
Amd 64 3500
geforce 6200 turbo cache (Bad i know)
viewsonic 22"
I dont bother overclocking,So i just would like to know if that cpu would go ok with that GFX card.
Thanks for your help

CPU will be fine with that GFX card. However the combo would benefit greatly from a little over clocking.

What resolution do you game at?

gt_junkie · 29 Mar 2007 at 12:32

Must be 1680x1050 with that viewsonic.

You'll be fine! My 3800X2 was fine along side my GX2 - but as blakka says... overclocking will improve performance!

I've had a friend who builds pcs and never bothered overclocking. Overclocking's easy as long as you've got the right kit. I tried it with my old A8N (the earlier versions that came with the duff chipset fan), and that started to overheat, not tried it since :eek:

That's non-sense.

Skills required for overclocking = ability to read + patience.

Indeed used the above guide and got my Sandy 4000+ to 3.2Ghz easy peasy, simple once you've got good RAM and cooling solutions.

Sheeesh!. Thats a good OC. :cool:

right i know how to change the CPU Frequency.So when i have done that,Is there anything else which needs to be changed?

I'm not a pro at this, but if you change your CPU multiplyer, it should increase your Clock speed. I might be wrong on this, I've only done it once, and I had to up the FSB to keep up with the ram.
