As I've now been started on a quest to upgrade my CPU in my bi-annual 'PC overhaul & upgrade', whats the best guys, an Opty or an AMD64x2?
I currently have a winchester 3500 which I overclock by about 5% when playing FPS etc but leave as stock for browsing etc.
I do think I want to go down the dual core route by way of future proofing as far as I can, but not too sure what the benefits of either CPU are. My understanding is that Opterons overclock better, but if I only want to squeeze a bit more out of it, is this still the case? Possible options are an Opty 2.2GHz or the 64x2 4400 or 4600.
Any advice welcome.
