Dual Core

[TehBestEver]

I play BF2 alot and other games like this and was wondering if I should get the athlon 64 4800 x2 or the fx-57? Or will there be even better dual core athlon chips next year that I should save my money for? A combination of a dual core and fx chip would be awesome AMD amd would try as well.

On another note, I have a Diamond Viper x800gto and was wondering if someone could show me a site that tells me how to unlock the extra pipelines (if possible).

Games are not programmed yet to utilize the 2 cores. If you get a dual core, the game will actually run on 1. FEAR is the only game out right now that utilizes both. However, the dual will be great for multitasking.

I love my dual core while playing BF2, i can minimize so fast, and do something and then reopen BF2 and bam im still playing lol.

I would go with dual core right now. Defintely go with the X2 4400+ and OC it to 4800+ speeds without spending 800 dollars

exactly what i would do.. but the X2 4400+ is such a great chip i see no need to over clock it 200mhz to the X2 4800speed... yet.

The Fx-57 would perform better in %95 of all games out ATM but over the next year or so we will see the release of games that utilise the second core.
