Okay, my current system is:
AMD Opteron 165 Dual Core.
2GB DDR memory
Gigabyte K8NXP-SLi Motherboard
with a Nvida 6600, soon to be an 7800gt graphics card.
My questoin is this, I mainly use me pc for games and encoding DVD's and was wondering whether to get a nice Q6600 sytem or a E6850 system. Either would have the foloowing with it:
Gigabyte P35 Motherboard. the DDR2/DDR3 one.
4Gb DDR2 OCZ memory
and either a 8600GT or a 8800GTS graphics card.
Is it worth while upgrading to either or these chips now or to wait for the new penryns to arrive, and if it is is the quad better than the dual?
Oh and 1 final thing is there any difference between a normal Q6600 and the energy efficent ones? apart from the energy efficency.
Cheers
