Hey Guys,

Here's a question... i should probably attach a poll.

Currently i have a athlon FX-57 setup in my gaming computer. and i figure i want to max out the platform before the 939 chips dissapear completley

I have a line on a Athlon FX-60 for about 350-400 under retail price... retail box.

or thanks to amd's recent price drops. i can get a Athlon 64 X2 4800 for about 400 after taxes and such.

In the end there will be a 200.00 give or take difference between processors.

For those who dont know, the FX is more of an enthusiast processor. Unlocked multipliers and such.

FX - 60
2.6ghz Dual Core. Unlocked multiplier = Easier Overclocking. If i get this i plan to run it at a minimum of 2.8... before i adjust the FSB
so 14 * 200

X2 4800
2.4 GHZ dual core
I dont really plan on doing much overclocking if i get this setup.


Opinions?

Thanks
