hi - i'm thinking about upgrading my current CPU (AMD 3700+ San Diego)
Currently have 2gb mem and X1950XT - I have a feeling that the 3700+ is holding the card back... I chose the Opteron 180 Denmark (Newegg.com - AMD Opteron 180 Denmark 2.4GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor - Retail) - please do not recommend me other processors and the AM2 socket b/c I'm on tight budget.
My question is : what really matters in today's processors ? Is it just the operating freq. ?
Would i be able to see major improvements with the opty over the 3700+ ???
