New chip

[burtie]

Hello i`m looking at getting a new CPU in november,i`m stuck with socket 939 until next march time then i will be going core2duo.
My question is should i just save the cash until march or buy a duel core AMD,also will i notice the difference from my current cpu 4000+ 2.8Ghz,also which chip should i go for?thanks for your time

Or should i just get core2duo now it should not cost much if i sell my other bits,its just my wife gets a bonus in march so i`ll have more cash to spend

Would that be a motherboard with intel 975x for quad core?

 

[burtie]

Yes i think i`ll wait to be honest i think i`ve just got the upgrade bug thanks chaps

I would agree with that. Not sure about getting a Core 2 Quad though, the Kentsfield will be an MCM CPU and pretty expensive too! You're probably looking at £650 - £700 for the cheapest one.

£700 may have to re-think this then lol.

Well its because i really do`nt want to get left behind,everyone seems to be going core2duo,the chip i have is a fantastic chip maybe what i really want to know is what would the difference be going core2duo now would i notice REALLY?

I play games and a little encoding photoshop,and thats it,i`m sure with some better ram i could see 3.0ghz with this chip.

No not a big difference, only in benching

Then i think its best to leave it thank you all loads.
