Ok a fx-55 at 3.7ghz is god like if its even possible. I dont know so I am not going to say it is or isnt. People say that its worth getting a dual core now and not wait till later when youll regret it. Right now single cores do better in games. I just looked up and it says for benchmarks it is better to get a dual core. A x2 3800 or a opty 165 seem to get decent oc's. People easily seem to hit fx-60 speeds with 165 and x2 4200, 4400 speeds with the x2 3800. For BENCHMARKING, get a DUAL CORE!
Just one question, why just for 3dmark05 scores? I mean I kind of did the same but won $1,000 for building a computer to hit 8k in 3dmark05 and then sold it (dont ask, stupid rich friends). The guy bought it for almost $500 more than I originally paid for it on newegg I guess just because of oc's. Ended up making $1500. ROFL.......
