AMD Processor Upgrade

beartooth91 · 01-20-08, 11:02 AM

Folks,

Would like to upgrade my cpu in the next couple of weeks. Its a socket 939 motherboard (a Biostar), so, my choices are limited. Currently running an Athlon 64 3200 Venice. I'm looking at 1) another Athlon 64 4000 (Clawhammer) or 2) the Athlon 64 X2 3800 (Manchester). Both are in the $49 to $59 price range at Newegg or Tigerdirect.
The X2 really interests me, though, the performance rating is lower than the Clawhammer. Also, I've heard of a few problems with certain games on the dual core Athlons.
Is anyone here playing SH4 with an Athlon 64 X2 on a S939 board ?

Thanks,
