AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego OR (Duel Core)

[BloodTravis]

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and I have two choices on my mind the AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego or any of the duel core models like the 3800+ or the 4400+???

(I don?t really multitask my Pc that often)

if you're willing to spend that much on a single core, there is no reason not to get the dual core. get the 3800 if you are going to overclock and get the 4400 if not

 

[Cinna696]

what cpu are you using now?

 

[bamacre]

Yeah, please post your current system spec's.

 

[mordantmonkey]

wouldn't dueling cores negate each other?
if you don't really multitask,get the single core and OC. upgrade to dual core later when/if it will give you real performance gains.

Get the 4200+. It's dual core and near the price of the 4000+.

It would be more cost effective to get the dual core now then to shell out for a single core and then get dual core later. I bet it will be hard to get rid of the single core for how much you got it for by the time games use multi-threading. Get a DC, overclock, have crap running in the background while you game.

I agree. If you are overclocking I would pick up an Opteron 165. If not, get an X2 3800+ or 4200+.
