Hi, relatively new here. Ummm, I'm looking to upgrade my pc pretty soon, current specs:
Leadtek 7900GT
AMD x2 3800+
ASUS MPV-something or other
2gb generic ddr2 667 ram
and a cheapo 500w psu.
I'm thinking of not bothering to upgrade my mobo, but instead go for the 6000+, as it's only $300AUD. Will I get similar performance out of a 6000+ compared to say, an e6600? I am very budget limited here, and this is not to be a new system, I just need a bit more speed, and want a cpu that will not bottleneck the 8800/8900 G** that I plan on getting down the track.
I know most people would not have an amd chip at the moment, but any feedback from someone that has one, or knows a lot about them, would be appreciated.
