Seeing that the prices of Amd 939 chips will drop bigtime in a month or two im wondering if i should just go the fx60 and call it quits

Is the fx60 worth the bucks over my 4800..Im wondering if it will overclock to 3...Im a dumbass for not waiting on am2!!! :twisted:


current specs are
x2 4800
asus a8n32sli deluxe
2gig dual Corsair TwinX
evga 7800gtx ko
silverstone 600watt psu
all stuffed in my CoolerMaster 830 :twisted:

I have a $459 Opteron 175 bought from NewEgg in Dec that is overclocked to 2.64GHz, and it is faster and just as stable as a stock FX-60, that less the additional $650 cash I did not shell out...

Getting an FX60 would be a waste of money no matter how "cheap" they get, just build a real watercooling system and overclock that X2 4800+ of yours.

Then again, I doubt that this flimsy plastic box would support the weight of an heatercore without some modding.
