ok when i built my pc i didnt have enough money for an X2 and i knew c2d would be coming out and the prices of processors would drop yada yada.
so i bought a 3500+ and overclocked it to see me through till about.........now!
as you can see from my sig bang for buck is the name of the game and i am certainly not going to be purchasing a 6000+ anytime soon!
so i was looking at the 4200+ which can be had over here for £70-80 which seems like an excellent deal. i am not afraid of overclocking and would hope to push this part to around 2.5ghz (i know there would be headroom for more but for stability and thermal reasons i'll keep it to this)
am i going to see a performance boost from this upgrade? also has this been one of the chips to see a die decrease recently? are there any low power models?
thanks
