My old PC is knackered. Sold the bits and now I just need a new S939 CPU, got the motherboard, RAM etc. now.
I hear that the AMD Opteron UP 146 can be a nice clocker, it's £40 cheaper than the other CPU I had in mind, the 3800 X2. Alternatively I could just get a 3700+ single core San Diego. I'll most likely be upgrading to Conroe come the end of the year. Mostly use my system for gaming and watching films, i'm leaning towards the OEM 3800 X2 however. What do you guys think?
 
Opted for the Opteron 165 in the end, off the bay. Tried as hard as I could to push my funds to a 170, but alas no. But I hear the 165's are pretty good clockers, cheers for the replies ;)
