[Oracal]

Ok so my friend wants to sell my his old processor its a
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Toledo 2.0GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - OEM
but my computer alrdy has a Processor which i believe is a
[AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 2.4GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - OEM
now he's asking for 80$ for it, but im is it worth paying for the new processor? whats everyones thoughs, and if not what would be a good counter offer

I really appreshiate any help thank you!

80$? no you could easily get it on newegg for 56$, and anyway why would you want a single core when you already have a dual core?

 

[Oracal]

no id be getting Processor the dual core and replacing the single

 

[jimmymac]

he has the single core, his friend is selling him the dual core

 

[jimmymac]

$80 is still too much for a used one though, brand new its $79.99

Anyway, ask him to go lower since he already used it probably around 60$

 

[Oracal]

is it a big improvment over the one i have? because shadowrun doesnt run to well with the processor i have would so what yall think?

 

[kof2000]

is not going to do anything unless it uses both cores. they run at the same speed?

Dual core will not help with your gaming unless the games are Multi-threaded.. able to utilize a dual core correctly. However most games coming out in the future will be multithreaded so if you can get him to go down on the price abit it would be a good investment.
