Hi

As the title says the wifes PC has a FX-55 Clawhammer in it on an Abit AV8-3rd EYE mobo. Has 2gb RAM. With the drop in prices of the s939 dualcore athlon 64's I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade. The FX-55 is running at stock for stability, hench why I was thinking of the 4400+ which runs at 2.4 and has the 1MB cache per core.

She is always complaining it is too slow and is very impatient, hence the thought of upgrading?

What you think?

The motherboard doesnt oc well, therefore better to have a higher stock speed. I know AM2 have superceeded s939, but that doesnt mean its no a useless platform.

Would I see a noticable benefit going dualcore at 2.4 from single core at 2.6 ?
