So I'm upgrading on a budget, and it looks to me like the best bang for buck out there comes down to these two CPUs. Here's my question:
I've read that the 940 Black Editions offer the most flexibility for overclocking. But I've always been too frightened to overclock (my fears tend to revolve around overheating and power supply issues). I've also heard that even if I wanted to, the 920 can also be overclocked fairly easily.
So is the only real difference between the two 0.2 Ghz of clockspeed? Or is there something else I'm missing?
It seems to me, upgrading from an Athlon 64 3000+ (remember back in the day of single-core processors?) that either chip will appear to be flying through the air on wings of heavenly light by comparison.
I'm leaning in the direction of saving a few bucks and getting the 920 unless someone can convince me I'm being a fool.
Am I missing some part of the argument?
