Wouldn't it be better to go with the AMD FX-4100 Zambezi Processor then? One could overclock it higher with less Watt consumption and heat. Does the FX-4100 processor easily overclock to 4.4 gigahertz?
Depends on where you coming from and what you want to spend. He was looking at a 8120. Then you said you would get a Phenom II 956, then I said I would rather have a 6100/8120 then a Phenom II (which I meant a Phenom II X4).
The 4100 is kinda of a odd ball. With just 2 full cores or I guess what you could call 4 80% 4 cores. Dont know where to really place it.
This is the way I think about it. When you compare price/performance/overclockability.
Phenom II X4- I would take a FX-6100/8120
Phenom II X6- I would take a 6100/8120 unless I got a really good deal on a X6 1090.
Athlon II X4- I guess the FX-4100, because its unlocked and clocks alot better.
The FX-8150 is just priced to high.
But since AMD has stopped making the Phenom II/Athlon II, most of them has done sold out at newegg. Pretty soon all there will be is the FX.
