Help deciding between two AMD CPU's
Will be ordering an Athlon 64 X2 for a M2N-SLI DELUXE MB shortly
Question I have is Whether to get the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor Total Reviews: 1416 4x winner customer choice award http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103773 or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor Total Reviews: 477 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103228 Seems the slower of the two is more popular. |

You should consider 7750 BE or 7850 BE!!! BE means black edition, which
means the multiplier is unlocked. Only interested in the posted info thx Is it because of the socket... or ....? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

Looking at it yes it seems your suggested CPU's require AM2+ socket My MB is AM2. Have been away from building machines for some time but i suspect they are pinned different. |

The main reason the slower chip is more popular is simply the price/performance ratio. The 6400+ is about 7% faster than the 6000+, but I'll bet that it is more than 7% more expensive! When I rebuilt a few years back, I wrote myself a little spreadsheet that listed all the processors I was interested in, their price and their performance at stock and overclocked. It quickly became clear that the Q6600 was the best bang per muck in my price range... I was only looking at Intel CPUs, but the principle is the same. Rarius |

Update just researched and discovered the AM2 and AM2+ are interchangable But i must add that im not a fan of overclocking and your suggested CPU's run slower then the ones i am asking about. |
