Hi,

So I've had an FX-55 San Diego for about 1 week now running in an Asus A8N-SLI-PREMIUM.

This CPU runs so cool, it's great. And as far as performance goes, it is pretty good.
When running a task, the CPU will run at 100% and finishes things very fast, however, nothing else can be done when doing heavy tasks, since the CPU is already being pushed to the limit.

I got my hands on an X2 4800+ which I'm running right now.
This one also runs very cool, and it is a beauty to multi-task, in the same way a P4 with HT would.
It is not too fast, it is just OK. 1 thing I noticed is that the CPU is almost never running at 100%, maybe that is the way multi-core works in order to be able to run multiple things.

I know that in the near future, the X2 4800+ will be fully utilized by every application and game so it would be nice to keep it.

I could also trade this for an FX-57 which I guess would give me very similar results to that of an FX-55

What do I do?
 
Sell the FX-55 and buy a nice video card and cooling kit to compliment your 4800+. With some overclocking you could be running dual FX-55's in there. 🙂
 
You are one lucky bastard to have access to all those top end products at your disposal.
You should give me the x2 4800 😀

No seriously, just keep the X2.
 
I've always thought the FX processors were overpriced. I think the X2 processor is worth it though.

I know I'd never spend a grand on a FX processor, but I'd have less regret spending it on a X2...
 
do you run FRAPS on your fx55 for recording ingame action ?
And if so how does it run ?

im waiting on delivery of a duel core AMD 4400+ and l cant wait.....its about 10 days away now, im looking at 7800gtx vids tho...
 
Easy choice.

Keep the X2 4800+ & give the FX-55 to me so i can sell it & buy myself an X2 4800+ 😀
