need to ask: what is the equivelent to the 930 pressler...

[krisoto]

not looking for x2 on amd but something similar in multitasking.performance and gaming that's fairly match 930

ready to built a new rig, 930 looks affordable

Uh.

The 930 is a dual-core CPU. If you want similar multitasking power from an AMD CPU, you have to get one of their dual-core offerings, which means you're either getting an X2 or a s939 Opteron.

Depending on the app, the x2-3800+ should match or beat the Pentium D 930 in most instances. The 930 certainly has gotten cheap, though.

that is true
so, your telling me that amd x2 3800 is equal to intel 930 by comparison to multitask,performance and gaming i mention?

No, the 3800+ X2 is closer to a 940/950...
AMD has no low-end dual core processors.
The single core A64's will exceed the 930 in gaming, but the 930 will beat them at multitasking.

You basicly would need to get a 3800+ X2 and underclock it to make it perform the same as a 930. The 950 and X2 3800+ are pretty evenly matched.
