what would you say is an all round proccessor, no actually more powerfull and also what about when the pentium d 955 comes out with Extreme edition(ht) you think that will beat the 4800 or the fx-60
 
As far as best overall processor, I would have to go with AMD. The new 955ee beats out those AMD chips in some benchmarks but not enough to say it's better.
 
yea, amd dual core = win for ANYTHING.
i cut my processing time of encoding a video down from 1hr. 50mins (athlon 64 3400+ clawhammer) to 55 mins (amd athlon 64 x2 3800 @ 2.4ghz)
its by far the best in my opinion
 
With my dual core setup, that's all it takes me to encode a dvd too, less than an hour. But I'm sure yours would show superior when we try to do stuff I don't do, like gaming.
 
srry but i have to say the EE955 spanks FX-60, me and couple buddies of mine wanted to find out our selves just this weekend, took ones guys pc with a 955 and another guys with FX-60, put both ddr pc 4200 in them both, both had 7200rpm hdd's, and were really close in specs besides cpus, and the 955 walked on it neither of them overclocked....and i haev to say now that the 955 is a 65nm processing their have been past 5ghrz overclocking records with the 955, with correct cooling that is

i have 920 right now and will be getting a 955 most definetly, over getting a amd system


theirs actually lots out their who have witnessed what i have.... if you read reviews you will see that the EE955 is walkin on amd's cpus that are more close to the EE955

I think the X2 3800 is a very nice chip, with a nice price/performance ratio and sweet o/clockability.

It does in some tasks, at least the X2 4800+ from what I've seen.

Have a look at the Presler EE 955.

http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q1/fx60-vs-955xe/index.x?pg=1 Needless to say, the Pentium gets spanked. I too have an Intel, but I know when I'm beat.

I tend to agree. I've seen several reviews comparing the FX60 with the EE955, from sources I trust to be unbiased, and all have favoured the FX60. It's a tad cheaper as well, but at this price range I don't think a hundred dollars either way is likely to make a big difference to most people.
