My system's limited by a socket 939 mobo and am currently running an A64 4000 ...

Been ok so far but slowly starting to show its age in video editing apps and some (high end) games ..

was thinking of upgrading to a Dual Core 4800 but can't really find any

was browsing the net and notices that a lot of Opteron 170s are using and clocked to run at higher frequencies (since apparently there is a lot of potential) instead of the X2 Athlons ..

so thinking of switching over to an Opteron 170 and clocking it at around 2.6 - 2.8Ghz (just form the BIOS, without increasing voltage) .. would that be a sensible upgrade? Do only Opterons wtih Toledo core clock well or Denmark core?

cheers
