Battlefield 2142?

[Tsuwamono]

Anyone know if BF2142 is going to be dual core supporting? or is there even a point to me getting a Dual core 4800 VS just getting a AMD Athlon 4000+

I doubt it will take much advantage of dual core, the graphics don't even look that great. I'm not entirly sure but i heard its using the same engine as battlefield 2. they should have just made it a mod for bf2..the x2 5000 should be out when 2142 . . IMHO single core is still better for gaming though, if you look at the benchmarks

ya but the 5000 will be out for AM2 not 939 right?

That was my understanding, I'll go look for a current roadmap.

ya they are not building anymore 939s other then the ones that are already out. so thats why im asking what i should do. Im not upgrading until AM3 and even then probably a year into it. i just dont have the cash to throw around so im thinking of the Athlon 64 4000+ or the 4800+ X2 im not sure though. depending on whats better for gaming since all i do is game.

Dualy it is... but why? lol so far the only games i know are dual core is oblivion and i know i dont have a hope in hell of running that on full settings anyway since Dual X1900 XTXs cant.(neither can the 7900s if theres any fanboys reading this lol)
