Currently running 3800+ San Diego 2.2.
What would be more cost effective? I get decent frames in BF2142 already, but when I turn on Fraps, I drop to single digit frames. Will a dual core help that at all? Will I really only see a 200mhz jump in performance with the x2? Is the FX chip worth the extra cash?
I can get the x2 for 200 bucks, or the FX-57 for 300. If you were trying to squeeze the last drops of performance out of the 939 chipset until the Intel 40nm chips come out......what would you do?
