Athlon 64 FX-60

[ezdriver]

I have always wondered about the speed designation of the FX series chips. If memory serves me right, I believe that the old FX-50 designation was done away with and simply called the Athlon 64 4000+. I am using a 939 motherboard and probably going to buy an FX-60 CPU, and was wondering what the speed equivalence rating might be for it (5000+, 6000+?). Thanks for the insight on this chip.

Don't get the FX-60... buy a X2 3800+ and OC that sucker. You should be @ or very close to FX-60 speeds.

There is no 2.6 Ghz dual-core Skt. 939 chip, except for the FX-60. But, according to AMD's naming of the other 939 chips, it would be a 5200.
