Which CPU is best for OC'in? X2 3800 X2 4200 400+ (SD) Both the 4200 and the 4k are the same price, but everyone here seems to be OC'in the 3800's? How come apart from saving £50 is there anything else I should know about since, I'd think the 4200, would OC one nock higher...?

Hiya, can anyone see any problems with a new build that I'm planning on making within the next few weeks? Only part I'm unsure on is weather to get a 4000+SD or a 4200+ X2, which is better for OC'in ? System will be used mostly for games.. AMD Althon 4000+ (SD) £247 Mother Board “Asus...

Looking into it now bud, although from the benchmarks there only seems to be around 2-4% if that in the scores :) Looks like I'll begetting a 4200 X2 :cool: Another question to throw into the open then... If current games dont use the 2nd core, does that core do all the windows backround...

Thanks, if I was to go down the duel core route, would the core only having 512kb cache per a core, effect it greatly than having the same clock speed but 1mb a core? Ie is it worth speeding alot of extra £££ to get the same core speed but with a larger cache?

Ok reffering back to my system on the post I made last night, http://www.techist.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=93554s=&threadid=93554which processor would you say is better for general and gaming? AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego Core 64 bit 1MB L2 Cache (2.4Ghz) AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200...

Wont be getting the 3rd and 4th 1Gb sticks till I get my 2nd graphics card/and poss upgrade the processor. Was thinking of asking about OS, should I just stick with XP Pro for now, or ge tthe 64bit XP Pro (since I hear the 64bit version, is well crap. Vista's coming out this summer right? If...

Yeah had looked at the 3700, but due to the 4k being over £80 more, I though that would yelled the best results although both SD cores. Now that I've looked I've noticed that a duelcore 4200 (2.2ghz but only 512kb cache) is only £12 more than a 4k+ single core. I know the duel core is only...

Looked into getting a 165(?) Ophy and dont seem to be able to get one anywhere in the UK :( I'll be playing BF2 alot on this new system, so thats why I'm going down the 1G sticks route instead of 512mb, also for future expantion, so I can have a total of 4gb, over just 2gb (4x512sticks) Thanks...

Hi there, first post on this forum so be kind lol. Right, I'm making a new PC from scratch just as a gaming rig, from the items I've listed below can anyone see any problems between items or can think of anything better/cheaper for the same amount. Not really wanting to spend much more than...
