Athlon 64 6000

Retail Boxed AMD X2 Dual Core AM2 Athlon 64 6000 3.0GHz 2x1MB Socket AM2 £159.80 Inc VAT

Seems like a good price but is it worth it?

Are you already on socket AM2? if so that's worth it if you are still on single core A64, if you are already on AM2 X2 then I wouldn't bother tbh instead I'd try and oc it further.

If you are deciding between AM2 or C2D I'd still go for C2D E6600+ as it has great oc potential - X2 6000+ is fast but 3Ghz stock speed leave you no/little room for overclock.

im using this :

Gigabyte K7 Triton (GA-7N400-L1)
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.1GHz
Memory: 1536MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6600

well old.. so anything is better

Since you'll be needing a new motherboard and RAM too, you'll be far better going for an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600.

Agreed,

A

6320 C2D
DS3
DDR 2 6400

is the combo to get.

With that kit to start with, I see no reason to stay with AMD. C2D is currently the way to go.

you'll need a new graphics card too btw.
