Hey Tomsanites,
Im gonna upgrade my system for tax season, and id like a few words of wisdom
While looking at my mobos specs on gigabytes webpage, http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2434 , i discovered that x3's and x4's are supported on my system, but the HT is lowered to 1.0.
so, i was originally looking at a x2 6000+ for 75 dollars, but in light of new discoveries, would i get more performance with a x4 or x3? im a gamer, and i know that games are starting to support multi-cores. but on the other hand, the x3s and x4s are clocked lower than the 3.1 6000+. the few trip/quad cores supported by my mobo are up to a x4 9650 @ 2.3 or a x3 8650 @2.3 ghz.
as it stands, im still leaning towards the 6000+, but i just wanted yalls advice or confirmation.
thx a bunch
