Im confused 
I have recently bought a new rig, arrived and assembled on thursday.
The specs are:
CPU: amd x2 4400+
Mobo: Sapphire PURE Innovation Gruper Radeon Xpress 200P
Memory: G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit
Gfx card: HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X 512MB GDDR3
Case: lian-li v1000+
PSU: Seasonic S12 600W Silent ATX2.0
When i was researching what processor to buy i got the impression that the opty 170 was bees knees. So i was searching for that one but couldnt find it, settled for the x2 4400+ instead.
Now OcUK has the opty 170 in stock and im thinking to order one and sell my x2 4400+.
But then some threads here are saying that the 4400+ is just as good?
I would like to overclock, aiming to get over 3.0gigz after a while, but for now 2.2 or 2.4 will be fast enough for me, only when the m2 comes out then i will consider overclocking it more.
Shall i stick with my x2 4400+ OR go for the opty 170?
cheers.
