I've decided to do one last upgrade on my 939 system, before I jump over to the C2D bandwagon, most likely by the end of this, or early next year.
I'm looking for a decent dual core processor to hold me over until then. I want it primarily for video editing with Premiere Pro, and some gaming (Oblivion, Half Life) as well.
I can't decide between opterons or X2s. I'm trying not to go too far over 250 CAD. Forget about retail prices, Newegg doesn't ship to Canada, so I'm going to focus on eBay. I can get an 89w 4400+ from ebay for 260 CAD, including shipping.
I'm not interested in the Opty 185 or Fx-60, but something that could overclock to those speeds would be wonderful. Right now, the Opteron 165, 170 and 175 are pretty appealing, along with the 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800 X2s.
I'm planning on overclocking, and my goal is 2.8ghz, but 2.6 would be awesome aswell.
Any recommendations? And remember... eBay prices....
Thanks,
Tony
