Hello,
I have heard quite a few times to get a dual 3800 amd over a single 3700.
The reason for this being that the 3800 will run future games *better*/allow more multi tasking/not a massive price change.
I am a *normal* user. When i say normal, i mean, i dont automatically have to have the BEST technology, and have the FASTEST computer ( i use an athlon 1200/512 sdram/64mb gfx card) to play current games, and am fine playing on low settings. I do programing, but am used to having one window open at a time. Im not an overclocker (i have heard both chips are good for overclocking, but this is not an issue here).
I would like to know if a single 3700 chip would be fine for me to use, for 2 - 3 years. Sure it might be a few seconds slower with xp64, or i might have to play a future game with lower settings, but i can cope with that!
Anyone believe a 3700 would be suffice?
regards,
perplex
