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
