 |
|
hello all
awhile back i built my system with a xp3200 on an asus board. at the time i purchased the cpu, it was the best of the amd family just as the 64 bit chips had recently been released. (resulting in a price drop for the 3200)
given that im not into overclocking, i wanted a stable, fast and at that time reduced priced cpu. the xp3200 has preformed as expected.
now the time has come for an upgrade, using the same manufactures what is the current "best of the last generation" cpu available.
ty,
Mr. Pink |

Well if you really want the best bang for youre buck, than you should consider crossing over to Intel for now, they are way ahead of amd in the cpu market as far as performance goes, a nice dual core e6400 or somthing along those lines and an asus motherboard will rock youre world coming from an old xp3200, of course you will have to throw in some ddr2 memory which is very inexpensive these days. For the last generation of cpus intel has been kicking the snot out of amd, and i am not an intel fanboy or anything i like both and have had many systems with asus boards and AMD as well as asus and Intel cpus. How fast you want to go is only dependant on how much you can spend, but for 4 or 5 hundred dollars you could have a very nice rig.

if you are still AMD fun go for AMD X2 6000+ (with stock speed) or Brisbane 3600+ and Windsor 3800+ F3 for cheap and OC it.
AMD is still better in memory (RAM) operations then Core2Duo.
I prefer you buying ASUS AM2 motherboard with nForce 570 Ultra, SLI or 590SLI and have ticket to AM2+ CPUs which will be released soon.
