Latest Hardware Prices & Quotes..!!

i wanna know that ARE the low-priced single-core pros. r faster in gaming than the dual-core ones.
So,if i want faster performance in gaming..............which should i choose
Athlon 64 3800+ (socket AM2 and 939) $112
OR
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (socket AM2 only) $152

I know u will say get the dual-core anyway.........cuz it will make my apps. fast also and the price is not too high either BUT keep this in mind that IF i get the AM2 dual-core pro. i will have to get the costlier AM2 MOBO also...........thus inc. price much more.
So, what do u think,which Pro. is suited 4 ONLY gaming.
Also,whats the price of E6600 here.

Hey Viper, how much is ur budget?
My PC is also 5 years old. Initially my budget was 20K but now i have increased it to 28K bcoz of dual core CPUs.
I am thinking of buying either a Conroe or AMD AM2 X2 depending upon my budget.

I think both of you will better wait a little since prices are coming down and let it stabilize. That way you will be able to own a better system for the same amount of money.

3800+ will be superior to X2 3800+ for games, for a little more time now...

hii..
initially my budget was also 20k..but not able to guess how much the latest processors gonna cost..
i hve many doubts..
1.does the AMD dual core support ddr2..is it a 939 or 940 pin??
2.is the dual core faster than the latest proceessor (i think its called am2) which supports ddr2..??
 
1. yes........its AM2-940 pin
2. am2 supports ddr2 but 939-pins dont............the dual-core pro. r faster in everything than single-core ones except gaming

Dual core shows around 30% performance improvement in some or more games currently in terms of minimum fps which means better gameplay.

can any one tell me whts the difference betn AMD X2 & AMD FX processors.

no, latest is FX-62 which is a dual core processor, processors like FX-53, FX-55, FX-57 are single core and ruled the gaming world for a long time, till only a few months ago, FX-60 is a dual core, each core FX-57, X2 are dual core Athlons, each core is Atlon 64 procy, for Ex AMD X2 3800+ is 2 3200+ in one processor, so yes, FX series is superior to athlon one, but single X2 will be beter than an single core FX procy, dual core FX-62 is the Highest AMD offering.
