I am using a 3700+ @ the moe and have been waiting for some dual 939 proc's
to come back on sale but what is my best option a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ (Socket 939) - OEM just over the 140 squid mark or a AMD Opteron 165 Socket 939 1.8GHz Dual Core 2x1MB @ 100 or should I wait for FX-60 to come into stock. I have about 150 to spend and it will be the last component I will buy for some time.
My system board is capable of any of the above proc's, I am thinking the 4600+ dual is the one to get but with the overclocking options on my MB is it just as well to get the AMD Opteron 165 Socket 939 1.8GHz Dual Core 2x1MB and save 40 squid, please help me make my mind up coz I can decide.
I do use my PC for mostly games and DTP but the games come first.
with 2 OCUK 7900gs running SLI mode, so it will be the finishing step for a 12 month.

Thanks much

I am using DFI Lanparty ultra D with the SLI bridge connected on the chipset,
a 3700+ and 512 * 2 PC3200 1gig DDR400.
OCUK7900gs times 2 SLI
3Dmark 03 27,000 @ stock.
All from OCUK "thanks for the £65 MB" as I see it has gone up in price, even so still worth every penny.
But I do want to change proc as it will complete my system and I dont have to worry about any more upgrade's for a 12 month or more and I can then consentrate on saving up for DX10 graphic's cards.

Cheers

PS so the AMD Opteron 165 Socket 939 1.8GHz Dual Core 2x1MB is the best one even
@ 1.8GHz

Right I'm going for the AMD Opteron 165 Socket 939 1.8GHz Dual Core 2x1MB,
thats if I can find then back in stock. I was a bit slow on the uptake of the offer
there's none left in stock so I will go on the hunt for a AMD Opteron 165 1.8GHz Dual Core. If I have no luck finding one then it will have to be the dual 4600+.
