<<I wanted to keep the price under $600 because that is how much extra I would have to pay to go for an Athlon64 X2 (which I wanted so that I could do some quick divx/xvid encoding) in my new rig. Someone else suggested that I buy a 3200+ instead of the X2 4400+ and build a separate encoding rig.
So any comments/suggestions? >>
Qouted from the OPs main thread that has been there since the beginning...
Another reason you should take a vacation...YOu cant ever seem to read a thread correctly....Why mention something (DV to MPEG2) that he doesn't even say he wants the cpu for....XVID and DIVX endoing favor the X2....
However I like a few mentioned we thought the 2.4c with hyperthreading was a better option and for 140 bucks for the pcu it fit his price...You come up with some lame-arse comment, divert the thread, and not even hold to his instructions....
Never qoute ebay prices again, you fool!!!
