Fellblade Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've just picked up a 4200+ X2 and an X1800XT, and I have to say... the X2 is damn good. I do, however, still need to get the RAM sorted, as it's been carried over from my old machine and appears to have... issues. Timings had to be really slow to stop it from falling over - no more TwinMOS RAM for me - GeIL and Corsair all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TucksonSonny Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi, I'm starting to think about upgrade my processor (an Athlon 64 3200+), my aim is for gaming performance, mainly. I have three choices: 1) Athlon 64 FX-55 (which is really expensive for my budget, so it's a little off my sights) 2) Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (for me a real shoot in the dark as I don't know if Lomac can use all it's power) 3) Athlon 64 4000+ (among three, the cheapest but I don't know if it's worth the upgrade, since I have a 3200+...) So, what do you recommend? I'm expecting to order it next month. Thank you ;) The FX-60 is out! :icon_supe (read: 2x FX-55) In single core (Lomac/FC) you better go with the FX-57 Anyway check it out: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1909497,00.asp DELL Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 940 2,93 GHz @3 GHz, 8 MB cache | 8.192 MB 1.067 MHz Tri Channel DDR3 | 512 MB ATI® Radeon™ 4850 | 500 GB 7200 rpm Serial ATA | Samsung SM 2693 HM 25.5 " | HOTAS Cougar Thrustmaster | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junae Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Guys, I have an oportunity in sight: A friend is offering me an Athlon X2 4400+, I'll return him my A64 3200+... Well, the question is: Considering that Lockon is a single core game, does that means I'll be using "only" a 2.2Ghz core right? Well, my current processor operates at 2.0 Ghz, so can I consider a gain of only 0.2 Ghz? I know there might be other differences between the A64 and X2, but are those differences noticeable on single core applications? =FN= Six o'Clock Member of Falcões da Noite Squadron Florianopolis :: Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat generated by the processor warms up the room nicely. :biggrin: Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 ASUS Sabertooth X79 4 x 4GB Crucial Ballistix VLP PC3-12800 ASUS Cerberus GTX 1070 Ti 8 Gb Seasonic Platinum 860W Thrustmaster Cougar Uber II Nxt CH Products PT/TQ/MFP Slaw Pedals TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
