What Conroe to replace X2 4600+

only worth the upgrade if your 4600 is too slow for your needs. The brief pleasure of seeing a bigger number in cpuz soon pales to still having half a grand in your back pocket.

I disagree,

My opty 170 @ 2.8ghz was more than fast enough for my needs.But I sold it losing little money for my conroe setup.

The upgrade cost me around 100 quid after selling my s939 stuff while I could still get something for it.

I now have a much much faster pc for little outlay.

Why be so conservative and serious about upgrading?I enjoy having the latest hardware and in the long run its cheaper to upgrade when your previous system is still high end.

Lol at one point many moons ago I was into benchmarking, think I got as high as postition 2 on the orb. I recall have 8 gf3's in my hands at one time and used to routinely abuse the hell out of stuff for a tiny gain. I'm talking phase change + TEC+ Watercooling+ Airconditioning units+radiators hanging out of wide open windows in the middle of winter at 3 am.

So I totally understand the upgrade addiction and the desire for that little bit of extra performance. But some times it can be taken a bit too far and that extra wad is better spent down the boozer with yer mates on on your missus.

Hell i'm just old hehe! get the X6800 :eek:
