I'm considering upgrading from a 3400+ to one of the duel core chips compatible with my current Asus A8V-Deluxe - a gig of Kingston KVR DDR400. This isn't a long-term requirment...in a year or so I expect to be Conroeing but for now I just want a stop gap.
Am not a gamer...need a snappy XP desktop for occasional video editing and encoding.
I don't want to get into extreme OC mode...I have a good Zalman cooler and a good PSU but need a stable system more than i need to squeeze each and every MHz.
I'd like to keep the chip cost under $275 but would consider more for eye popping difference.
Which X2 is my best bang per buck?
thx
