ohhhh yess i used to have on b4 the x2 and it was ok

 

[IfYouHaveToAsk]

i have a 3000+ and it plays everything fine, but you might as well save up for a 3800 x2 dual core.

Yes, the graphics card is much more important.

See sig... I can run just about any game on Max resolution & max settings.... the only exceptions being F.E.A.R. (haven't even played that game) and Oblivion.... Oblivion still runs smooth, and looks very good... not sure what the settings are at, I haven't played it in over a month.

Ya, i agree. He shouldnt save up for a dual core, not yet anyway. Its pointless in gaming as of right now, sometime down the road when we see video games using multi threaded applications to optimize the use of resources it will be necissary.

That cpu will do just fine.

so its a 'thumbs up'. Ok thanks for your help

the x2 3800 seems the best bang for the buck but i'll rather go fro the 4400 toledo but **** it no price cut, so i am going to get the 3800 and overclock it.

(sorry if off topic) yea thats a good processor.. I just bought an ADM Athlon64 3800+ and now I cant use it cuz my parents are making me save my money :'( the world is becoming ss..s.soo cold..need my baby gaming rig.. but hey i figure someday ill build it (cept the f'in processor will be a dionsaur by then( I hate computers in how the are obsolete after a year))
