Motherboards with Via K8T890 need not apply.....

Power requirements of the fastest part ( the 4800+,
not yet in stock ) is no greater than that of the 130nm
A64 4000 ( Rev D or earlier ), or the FX-53.

..... oh, I completely forgot the new motherboard. Add
another $150 to $200 ( plus power supply )

I currently have a FX-55. Any idea how much improvement I would see?

Thanks...

None on gaming - at the moment. Unless the game multithreads and is
happy to run with a second processor. Very few - trial and error. Once
dual-cores are well-established, expect to see alternate builds or
patches for multiprocessors ( a la the 64-bit patch for Far Cry ).
Pro applications that multithread and can support multi-processors
obviously will benefit. Video editors, for example...

Your FX-55 should serve you very well for a long time yet. And since
the multipliers are unlocked, your overclocking opportunities are
potentially greater than the A64 series.

You're welcome.

Do you really think those prices will last long.
Besides the dual P4 and Dual A64 are different animals. The Dual P4 is two
cpu's "glued" together. The A64's are much more integrated with memory.
