athlon 64 4200+ x2 -- or -- athlon 64 4000

[Dr Studly]

this
amd athlon 64 4200+ x2 2.2ghz dual core

or...
this
amd athlon 64 4000+ 2.4 ghz


why?

my purposes are half gaming, half media and multi tasking, so something balanced...


and how do those compare with this, and in which tasks this
Intel Pentium D 930 Presler 3.2ghz w/ 800MHz FSB Dual-Core

the x2 is the better choice in this case

 

[ckfordy]

it should be able to run with a dual core processor.

i have the X2 4200 and i can play BF2 so thiers no problem thier.

the X2 would be the better choise since its dual core and you can easily OC the 4200 to the 4000's clock. i have mine at 2.4 already and going for 2.5+ today.
