Dualcore value for money?
Personally, I'd recommend the X2 4600+ or even the X2 4800+. Yeah, those are
the priciest X2s you can get right now but *I* like to think in terms of buying the most you can buy right now that will last the longest and give you the most performance. Yeah, if you want bang for buck, then get the 4400+ or 4200+. And, in case you haven't settled on a motherboard yet: If you get an X2 processor, I highly recommend the Asus A8N-SLI motherboard or a non-SLI version of it if you are not needing to do SLI with video. I recommend this board because (a) My close friend went this route and is very very happy with it; and (b) I've seen quite a few good reviews of this board net-wide. -- Scotter Tyan Thunder K8WE Dual Opteron 252s (2.6ghz) 6 gig DDR400 RAM XFX 7800 GTX 256 w/VGAsilencerV3 500 gig SATA2 Hitachi 160 gig SATA1 Seagate Dual 24" Dell LCDs 550W power supply X-Fi Platinum Soundblaster - "Thomas Andersson" wrote in message ...

What about Optys? My 165 runs at 2500 on all stock voltages and air cooled
(limited by use of 4x512 Ram) and has 1 gig of cache versus 512 for the 3800. If you get lucky you can find a retail box for under $325. LSASr "Thomas Andersson" wrote in message ... Hi!
