richba5tard Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 For those who are seeking a cheap way to get into the dual processing world, which processor would you recommend? The E6300 is the fastest, no doubt about it, but for those who currently have a A64 systems it means buying an expensive motherboard + new ram, while the X2 3800+ is just a cheap processor upgrade (150 euro's)... Core2 e6300: 195 euro Core2 mobo (i965 = buggy?): 80 euro 1GB DDR2: 120 euro = 400 vs 3800+ upgrade = 150 euro hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 A pitty those Merom's aren't for s775. The E4200 produces 65W, my turion only 25W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
