I just purchased an x2 4600+ s939, abit at8 32x, and ati x1900xt for $750 a couple weeks ago. When I looked at the cpu charts, I saw that the e6400 beats the 4600+ by about a min-two mins in video editing, and 10 fps in games. If I were to go conroe, my upgrade would cost $920 + shipping. Would it have been worth it to wait and get conroe? (I play games and video edit as you may have guessed)
A couple weeks ago I was working with:
P4 530J 3.0GHz
sapphire x800 pro pci-express
abit AG8 mobo
Corsair 2GB xms ddr400 CL3 3-3-3-8
I decided to keep my ram. Based on the charts, I almost doubled my computer performance overall. Did I make the best choice in terms of price-performance?
