Hi everyone,
I currently have a socket 939 Athlon 64 4000+ Clawhammer, and would like to get a performance boost without a platform change.
The opteron 170 is down to $122.99 at newegg, but it runs at 2.0 GHz, while my 4000+ runs at 2.4. However I have also read that these are great overclockers. Would I have a significant increase in performance if it doesn't
overclock higher than 2.6-2.8GHz?
It would be used mostly for gaming and video encoding.
